Well I must be confused over some history and facts….
Which pilot group is it that……
Welcomed foreign and domestic strikebreakers from 1989 to join their group?
Would rather see their youngsters hired on jets than a Qantas regional turboprop Captain?
Voted for a B scale for domestic First Officers?
Turned their backs on the Impulse pilots becoming Qantas employees in 2001?
Endorsed Qantas using contract pilots (Impulse) by signing off on their EBA?
Turned their backs on the Jetstar pilots in 2004?
Voted overwhelmingly yes to a MOU that endorsed Jetstar salary rates?
Never voted no to poor EBA deals over a decade of strong Qantas performance?
Voted yes to an EBA that endorses B scale Second Officers based offshore?
No, I am not the one crying. And I don’t care to screw it to the AIPA pilots, but I do pity their arrogance, ignorance, and selfish ineptitude. It is common knowledge that 200 mainline A330 F/Os will say yes to big salary cuts on mainline salary rates for a promotion. Yes, I am looking out for my own interests, but the difference is I don’t pretend otherwise.
