The current crop of juniors flogging the airways in flat bottomed jets might be better off had it not been for the "few" who thought they knew better than the union at the time. That includes the QF babies who think they invented flying.
Most posts on wages and conditions bleat about tough they are doing, while Dicko lead by TT pays himself $6.5 million.
History will repeat itself sooner or later, and the juniors will be leading from a lower base than existed in '89.
And the 89er's are not the "few" who thought they knew better than the union, they are the decent pilots and their families who demonstrated what real industrial courage is despite the horror of seeing their careers get passed off to opportunists foreign and domestic. Abeles is dead. Hawke is not far behind on age alone
