Lawrie,
Quick question-
Was not the AFAP the first organisation to accept terms and conditions SUBSTANTIALLY below the then market standard for airline pilots, when it negotiated the employment terms for Compass 1 and 2 and Virgin Blue?
Has this not had the effect of seriously lowering the market, with the now inevitable downward pressure on all pilots in the country as evidenced by Jetstar and the wages on offer from the likes of Tiger?
