Geoffrey...
You can write about how you have previously called Qantas management on bad decisions (such as failure to buy the 777) until the cows come home.
It doesn't matter.
The fact remains that you went on national television and told millions of Australians (the people who will ultimately cause Qantas to fail or succeed) that Qantas Engineers want $3-400 million extra per year (which equates to a increase of at least $187,500 per engineer per year).
I am a senior pilot at a competing airline and Qantas' success (or lack thereof) is of no consequence to me, but I'm still disgusted by your piece on Sunrise.
YOU HAVE NO CREDIBILITY until you correct the above lie. And I will, like others, refuse to buy Australian Aviation until you have the balls to publicly admit your error and the massive damage it may have done to the cause of our world class Australian engineers and pilots.
