Bullying aside, Watching the Colgan Air Air Crash episode posted earlier it is absolutely frightening to be able to draw similarities with the way the Australian aviation industry is becoming more similar and perhaps we should consider it a warning:
Eg. A regional carrier painted in the colours of and having tickets sold by national carriers
Fatigue and poor conditions
Base commuting
Stick shaker events on Q400 caused by increased ref switch
As Senator H said we will see what happens, although I think an increase in hours is on the cards to correspond with, as a minimum that imposed in New Zealand at 500 hours.
