Dear oh dear. My veiled attempt , via a rediculous analogy, to point out the the D!ckhead attitudes of people like QF insider and Pete has sailed way over your heads!! My point being, blaiming one particular group for the state of Aus aviation is crazy. Management decisions are what has changed the face of flying in this country. As the keepers of the batten of perfect aviation, many mainliners seem to be very ill informed as to what actualy is affecting them. As far as joining AIPA, when was the last approach to the pilot body from them. Id think they should be chasing us, not the other way around.
Why join a group that does not have your best interests at heart? You wouldnt!!!
By the way, does the mainline ops manual have a section dedicated to your role as a guard policemen while on duty in a QF aircraft? Ive noticed recently how fervent you seem to be. Keep up the "good work". 121.5 must be kept free for your PAs!!!!
PS pete, the paint scheme is still looking good. lets have a beer old mate.
