metro, perhaps I'll re-phrase. You're pushing an anti unity model. You're pushing that because J* drivers and QF drivers 'compete' for the same flying from the CEO that we should be represented separately. You don't get that we can achieve far more than working together than apart.
Sadly, many drivers have been pushing this line since well before 2000- despite some actions by a few QF drivers and supposedly one notable AIPA president. Sadly, despite the show of solidarity in attempting to draw a line in the sand- a line that WILL ultimately affect ALL airline pilots in Australia, you STILL see QF drivers as the enemy. What happens to one of us happens to all of us. You still haven't learned that lesson and like ratpoison, view this as pilot v pilot rather than pilots v management.
No wonder J* is trying this on if you and ratpoison are an example of the type of the thinking they will encounter.
