The foreigners, FSU, were dribbling in, and in the time frame envisaged by Abeles, they were never going to be able to get the operation back to what it was predispute.. .The only truth is, that you and KX, et al, were the pitiful people who scabbed back, and gave Abeles the hope he needed. Of course, the golden scabs, who imagined that Australian airline ops revolved around them, were the ultimate in scabbiness, training these foreign blow-ins.. .It is, as I have said before, as simple as that.. .As for former post ,90 AN F/O's are now concerned, they are faced with the same level of scab mentality for the reason KX mentioned. The double scabs want to stay at home, and the next-to unemployable F/O's can buzz off overseas.. .You have to admit FSU and KX, you both exhibit the selfishness required of scabs.. .Oh, and KX, there were many back door attempts by a lot of people for a lot of reasons (in their minds). The bottom line is, if they signed a contract, they were scabs, if not, they weren't. <img src="cool.gif" border="0">
