Unity
Genex,
I really find it hard to accept your negative spin with a divide the troops mentality.
You are playing into the hands of Oldmeadow and his divide and conquer strategy.What is your agenda? Why are you scared of a unified group?
Stop digging up old wounds and get on with the future.
A future where Jetstar, Qantas and Eastern pilots are under the one banner and can fight together as a well funded and unified group.
We all fly aircraft of different kinds and most Jetstar, Eastern and Qantas pilots are good, honest, hardworking professionals.
AIPA may have had a bad rap in the past but a dodgy deal was done where the ex president of AIPA told Jetstar pilots to get nicked and was made the chief pilot only weeks later.An appointment made by Geoff Dixon to ensure that the Jetstar workforce was not unionised.
QF pilots hate the chief pilot as most were smart enough to realise that a unified group was essential and saw the obvious conflict of interest.
The company then "spin" us lies that each "group" is the baddie.Qantas is full of old cronies.Jetstar is full of low hour beginners.What tosh!!! Both are untrue!!! Let us not be so stupid as to take the bait and infight.
It is a new day with a unique opportunity to unite our workforces.
Take a look at military and industrial history for the results of divided units.Unity will always provide a stronger force.
Let us all grow up, unite the Jetstar and Qantas group pilots and look positively toward a united pilot group with more options for all
