Too many people mired in the past.

Yes: AIPA was arrogant and screwed Jetstar guys. Yes those Jetstar undercut everybody. Yes Virgin Blue guys initially accepted low salaries to get it going. Yes scabs started the whole rot in 1989. The main lesson from all of this is that pilots screw themselves more than managers seem to but...

It's time to get over it all. Its 2007 and that stuff is history. Learn from it but go forward having gained wisdom from those events.

Regroup, refocus and regain what's been lost. Now is the time to advance.

It will need lateral and creative thinking and an entirely new mindset as to how to tackle managerial hypocrisy and sharehoder need for immediate returns but it can be done.

The first step is to stop sniping at each other. The next is to reunite AIPA, AFAP and JPC cohesively and the final is to institute an intelligent battle plan.

Judging by most of the posts here, stage one will probably be the most difficult.
