Bvgger the Libs.

The Libs tried to reduce pilots to a low-priced toothless commodity. At least under Labor we have regained some ability to fight for improvement in pay and conditions. I'm sick of the Libs and their view of non-business professionals. Aviation policies don't count for much if your being payed a pittance or worked to exhaustion. The big issue for pilots at present is to organise into or join an unified and strong representative body. Instead of selling our skills cheaply, fight for some restoration of conditios and pay. Otherwise flying careers will continue to become more and more expensive to 'buy' and and less and less lucrative to keep. How you vote for government is only part of the story.
