Remoak, thanks for calling me mindless, appreciate that
Wasn't talking to you in particular, rather the more strident elements that contribute here...
I do know the pilot group are not stupid, so things must be grim if they are even thinking of industrial action, not strike mind you, industrial action.
So answer me this. Were the Ansett NZ pilots stupid? Or the '89ers? Or maybe they were just unlucky?
If you take "industrial action", whatever form it might take, you are walking a tightrope. Good luck with that.
Most people that go on strike - oh, sorry, take "industrial action" - have absolutely no idea what effect their actions have on a business. They are truly short-term in their outlook.
Ask any British coalminer.

It took me 9 years of hard slogging to get to one, cost me untold amount of money and i still have to keep studying, doing checks etc etc. Show me a fu%$ing miner that has to do that you weak moron!!!
And who made you do all that? Somebody holding a gun to your head? Wake up. You chose that path, now live with it. Just because you had to study a bit, the world owes you a living? Grow up.
The miner may not have to do the checks, but he does have to work in conditions that you probably couldn't handle, taking risks that you wouldn't want to. He, too, knows what he signed up for. In many ways, he is far more deserving of his reward than feckless whingers like you.

Oh yeah. Right. Of course it is that simple...
not.
