A lot of the guys and gals in QF 'Q' list (longhaul at the time) with start dates from late '89 through until late '90 are people who had resigned in the dispute. They have some interesting insights into the goings on.
We have a few former Australian Airlines pilots who either didn't resign or returned prior to whatever the date is that AFAP said was OK to go back. They're mostly on the 737 with a handful on the A330 and a couple on the 767.
Either way, QF and AIPA wasn't involved in '89 but that doesn't mean that we don't have some insight and experience with what happened. As many have pointed out, it's a very different situation now but that's not to say that we're not cognisant of the lessons of '89.
