I get the desire to kick the company in the nuts and ask for 5% Panther but, what comes after you've intiated the action? Starting a fight is easy, finishing it off and winning is a lot harder. Especially against a very well financed bully like Qantas.


You might be happy to sacrifice all but 10% of the LAME jobs at Qantas however, there are more than a few out there with mortgages and kids to feed and put through school.


I just don't think that you've taken into account all the implications of such actions. As I say, it might make us feel better for a little while but under the current environment I just don't see it producing a better outcome. And be prepared for a lot of what is on the table now to be removed.


Careful and coolheaded consideration is what is required here.


Oh, and yes my testicles have dropped. I just prefer not to end up castrated.
