Geoff Thomas

Thanks for posting that clip Capn Bloggs, I hadn't seen it before.
I can honestly say I have never seen such a distorted, biased and factually incorrect view in relation to these negotiations than as was put by Geoff Thomas on that sunrise piece. Alan Joyce himself has more balance and factual correctness in his interviews than Geoff Thomas. If you were not aware that GT was presented as an 'Aviation Expert'you would have thought he was a QF spokesman arguing Qantas' case against the pilots and engineers.

In my opinion, either GT is ignorant of the facts or he has been induced by QF to present their PR line to the public.

Thankfully, Kochie and GT are not involved in determining the outcome of the ea negotiations. As I understand it, the qantas and alaea negotiating teams, and ultimately the employees, do that.
