The concept of an "Ansett Family Fund" to my thinking, was NEVER meant to be one for only pilots, and I don't think that Al E. V ever alluded to that P.V..
I think he may have been saying that as pilots were at the "top of the employee food chain", their 10% (for example) - still being only 10% - would go a l o n g way further than someone else further down the salary tree.
But the PRIMARY focus should be to get this thing off the ground.
You have all just had a 1 year reunion. Names, memories and sentiments are fresh.
Set up a fund! Help each other to save another.
Even tho' my career with Ansett ceased back "then", as a sign of good faith, and memories of happier times, I'm willing to throw in a donation once you get a fund up and running.
