Different circumstances now. In 89 both TN and AN were exposed equally to industrial action, therefore niether was going to get be at a commercial disadvantage by taking the pilots on. Virgin and QF pilots are now industrially seperate. If any pilot group took an industrial stand it would expose that organisation to the other one moving in and cleaning up market share. Do you think management would risk that? No. Whilst DJ management will bluff and bluster ultimately they will need to come to an acceptable arrangement with their pilots. So yes indeed play it cool, but stand firm in doing so.
