Had some mates that worked for Horizon. The boys there stuck together and kept their EBA in tact.
Didn't they give it to Crapair when they were asked to take it up the .... ?
Also heard back then that the Townsville guys had the opportunity to have the Horizon guys help them out. Obviously, they didn't take the offer of help.
There is always strength in unity. However, in aviation that's a difficult thing it seems.
