Tankengine,had the 200 numbers been the real deal as opposed to the token offer,then I ask you what EAA pilot wouldn't have taken one??There was a catch and you know it is well as the rest of us!!!As for AIPA trying to get an intergration deal up for the regionals,they talk about it and that is about it(WoodenEye we are still waiting for the plan).
Oxidant,before we can all move on together it may be a good idea to acknowledge the past.The regionals were virtually ignored until Jetstar came along,it is only recently that AIPA refer to all professional pilots as opposed to Qantas Group pilots.This is a refreshing change and hopefully there will be more in the near future.DD.
