Any one remember a few years back when there were wage freezes due to the company going through hard times and the connotation being that come the good times, then it would not be forgotten that we'd been a great bunch of fellas and gals, and we'd all share in the good times? Well with a forecast pre-tax profit of approx 1.5 billion (that's 1 followed by 9 zeros if you use American billion or 12 zeros if you use pommy) then I'd say good times have well and truly arrived, and I'd like to see a return on my 'good fella' voucher.
Lets not forget also when they used the sars and bird flue virus excuse during past eba negotiations and then when the eba was signed they announced record profits.
Mr Dixon should be aware that an 'elephant never forgets' when it's been mistreated.
