Word is slowly getting through that this is about Australian Pilots flying QANTAS aircraft, rather than some nefarious demand for job security.
Considering that the holy grail of cheap politiking in this country is about being seen to be as pro-Australian as possible; There isn't a Politician in the country that would want to be publicly siding in this dispute. (ie. Do they hate an Australian icon or do they hate Australian employees.)
The longer that this goes on, the worse AJ looks. I'd bet London to a brick that a PIA will see him leave due to "health reasons".
