Going Boeing, quite correct in what you posted, but it runs deeper than that, as long as QF pilots see JQ pilots as threats to their own pay packet and standard of living, there is always going to be anomosity, lets face it some of the rank and file in QF would prefer to see the whole box and dice blown of the face of the earth, and while that attitude continues it is hard for both these groups to face off in the same union. This suits management down to the ground, united we stand blah blah blah. As one from the dreaded 89 debarcle, I just wish I could get you blokes to have some unity, LCC are here to stay, far better the money from JQ is going into QF'S coffers than into say Virgin or SQ's,there is room for all, and nobody wants to see QF become a "boutique" airline as the AIPA fears, and probably rightly so, if ALL join the one big union you have management by the short and curlys, if not they will do as they please, its as simple as that, and in the current climate who knows what is down the track. DON"T END UP LIKE US!
