Merged: Proposed QF Group Pilot Seniority

[Going Boeing]

Captain Dart, when are you going to accept the facts.

QF pilots only flew 4 additional services during that dispute and they were flown with the approval of the AFAP as they were "hardship cases". All the other flights were normal Qantas scheduled services - not strike breaking flights.

QF pilots did not have a dispute with their management (at that time) so why would they impose hardship on the airline and it's passengers by joining the domestic pilots on strike. Hawke did try to bully QF management into flying strike breaking services but AIPA forcefully told management that QF pilots would not fly any additional services.

The domestic pilots had the moral support of QF pilots at all stages of the dispute.
