The Sunnies call sign will be heard all over the East & South coast.Click click.

Sunnies did NOT "roll over" in regards to their EBA!!
Be realistic. $120k was a starting point for negotiations and no-one was expecting to get near it! How can you when JQ and NJS prostitute themselves to fly a shiny new jet.
7% is better than the 0% QF got for the NG and 2% more than QF got for the 744. I'd say they did a pretty good job, also keeping the current conditions which are better than anyone elses.
