Time to recreate 1989?
You guys need to be aware that a repeat of 1989 is the most likely outcome of any industrial action. This is especially true whilst Howard is in government. I expect it would also be true under Rudd's "new labour". The time will come when unionism is again strong - not just in aviation - but I think that time is still at least 10 years away.
Keg, you outlined the extent of the opposition to the various offers being put to the various pilot groups.
I assume the pilots are knocking the offers back because the offers fall short of the pilot's expectations.
Question: In assessing the offers, are the pilots taking into account what the airlines (and industry) can afford or are the expectations based purely on what the pilot's would like?
This is a genuine question - please don't regard it as a wind up.
