M.Mouse If they worked for Britannia they might have!
But that is not quite the same thing which is why I posed the question.
As far as I am aware no BA pilots worked in Oz during the mass resignation in 1989.
I do in fact know one pilot who did. However he was not freelance and was working for a British airline who were operating in Australia at the time to fill the gap caused by the dispute. He had not long qualified and was deep in debt so was faced with a dilemma, resign on a point of principle or go where he was told by his employer.
I digress.
