The simple fact that Qantas is addressing each individual pilot to union bash indicates to me that AIPA are starting to gain some traction.
The fact that it is the CEO Geoff Dixon and not the Chief Pilot who is the writer of said letter indicates to me that AIPA have already effectivley sidelined the Chief Pilot.
That Dixon chooses to use a Union bashing comminication to also flag further cuts to pilots terms and conditions speaks volumes of the extreme level of arrogance displayed by this man. Dixon is staying on for one reason IMHO, to screw the staff of Qantas. He will go out like Robert Ayling of BA, a very very unpopular man with great wealth. (rumour has it that by the end of his tenure at BA Ayling could not check luggage or eat Airline food for fear of staff retribution). Who knows, he may even get an AO.........
The amount they threaten and bleat will be directly proportional to the effect that AIPA is having on them.
Keep up the good work Woodeye.
