The irony here is that when it was just the 717 operation there was little or no interest shown by QF "brothers" as to our future. Now our getting together is the main priority. I was at the initial meeting when Impulse was taken over by Qantas. I distinctly remember a certain Mr manning stating in no uncertain terms that Qantas pilots had no interest in the plight of Impulse guys. I also remember Mr Woods stating on his election that his and AIPAs priority was to halt the growth of Jetstar.
So what has changed. The 787 maybe?. If I was a QF pilot Id be mighty pi$$ed off with AIPA currently. I guess if you make your own bed you have to be prepared to sleep in the ba$tard thing!!!
