So the company are blaming us for all the delays
Well so what!
They have never told the truth anyway so
why would they start now?
And what do we care anyhow.
All it means is that we are getting the credit for
industrial action we never had to take!
The company and the LAME's both know the
truth and the pax are going to be pissed off
regardless of who's fault it is, so really
what does it matter. This isn't a popularity contest.

If any of this got taken to the commission it would
be proven in a heart beat that we were not taking
any action, and that gents is the only forum that
we need to worry about.

In regards to getting the info out in the media, what
you have to realize is that you can make a statement
to the media but they choose what to print and
it boils down to what slant the editor wants on
a particular story. Remember QF has a massive
advertising budget and if the paper wants a share
of that money it had better not offend the hand
that feeds it.
People have stated that the assn should take out ads
in the paper. It costs about 60k for a full page ad in
the SMH or tele and even if you do have the money to fund it
they may not even run it as it could conflict with they view of
the owners of the paper!
So as I see it best we let QF blame us for all the delays
and we get our coverage for free!!
Never mind if it isn't the truth.
