My family will remember 1989 for many reason.
1 months befor the dispute, an uncle of mine retired and using all his super and life savings bought a small boutiqe motel in Qld. The settlement happend the week the pilots went off work.
6 weeks later, after 100% cancellations rate, the bank forclosed.
2 weeks later my uncle committed suicide.
4 months later my aunt died of a broken heart after 40 years of marriage.
19 years later, a small part of my family still wont speak to me. even though I played no part. Was only a PPL then.
Some families were affected more than others!
