High bypass....we both know that that won't happen. This so called united front will, as usual disintegrate the moment the busineeses will want it to. Pilots as a industrial group have been proven time and time again, to be as united as a bunch of Bedouins within spitting distance of a water hole!

It's too late to achieve anything at this point in history. The damage was done back in 1989. The problem worsened when the integrated school system was scrapped.

Take the jobs on offer if you want to fly a nice shiny jet... thats what you all really wanted to do in the first place right? Just be prepared to not earn very much. For the time and effort expended, even a Red Rats salary after 20 odd years is a bit weak these days and we can see what happened to those boys and girls. That path is gradually closing down.

So its off to living in the Far Western suburbs for the vast majority of you lot and a second hand car as the kids get older.... just like the rest of the general population, if you're lucky.

Basic Economics 101 won't allow anything else. Shame really, it was fun while it lasted.
