Spikey, missing link, seriously? The horse is well dead now. Flogging it further isn't going to achieve anything.....particularly when you think you're flogging the right horse but what you're actually flogging is a little closer to your waist.
It's been more than eight years that some of us have been on this track. Given the lack of comprehension and objectivity demonstrated by people such as you two I'm amazed that you can get to work safely let alone operate an aircraft!
Hopefully this will mean more opportunities for ALL group pilots.
ODL, I don't think they're referring to '89. Rather, they're referring to the Eastern's case that was being run against Australian when QF took over or even more recently, the actions of AIPA under Chris Manning back in May '01 when we bought Impulse.
