Truckster....you said
"the number of current Qantas pilots who were around in 1981 is about 8% of the total.
To most QF guys the split is just an esoteric bit of history. Why do you flog that dead horse?"
I don't know you but would say that you have just shown wisdom way beyond your years in explaining the very philosophy that has put AIPA exactly where it is today. Divided, bitter, bereft, lost and with little to look forward to. All because the lessons of "just an esoteric bit of history" seem irrelevant.....to a professional group who should know better than most that history is our best teacher.
