Joe, I hope you are right and I'm wrong,this is a long term effect I'm looking at and not short term. As quoted by other international pilot unions, they wish they had stood up as a group to the "Trojan horses", introduced in the form of American eagle(USA) and Jetstar(aus).
As a pilot with quite a few years let in the industry i hope that any threat to our collective T&C's can be quashed before our managers implement them
