Thanks for explaining the situation. I'm not alone in struggling to find a meaningful way to support the pilots, engineers, cabin crew and ground support staff who actually do the work. Letters of complaint to local Federal members of Parliament have been written. Institutional shareholders have been petitioned. Feet have been stamped. All to no avail.
In the face of a silent government and opposition perhaps it's time to rouse the electorate by way of media campaign sponsored by a coalition of unions explaining that a negative result in FWA may well have harmful and lasting ramifications for the wider Australian workforce and community. The Resource sector in particular. Our last great hope.

(It worked for "Twiggy" and the mining magnates when opposing the Resource Super Profits Tax)
