elektra, you can find a laugh in anything, can't you. bet you're the guy always telling jokes at the party. the dispute was not a laughing matter it hurt a lot of people, and not only the airline pilots involved.no point in crying in your beer every day about something that happened 13 years ago.
The AFAP should have fought that one using traditional union strategy - but NO they thought they would get cute. broadcast to the government and companies (via Go Around)what was going to happen,work a 9 to 5 campaign, resign en-mass and then, after months of misery for the general public, tourist industry, hospitality industry, sporting clubs, large business, small business and the list goes on & on & on. they say all bets are off and we'll go back in time for Xmas!
Oh that's a real laugh elektra !
no, you stick to your Irish jokes, they are not that much better, but they don't hurt anyone.
