You would think that Minister Fumblenese would be rooting for the pilot unions being a Labor (left wing no less) pollie but I guess he is getting some sort of kickback from the RAT! Obviously he thinks that airline pilots are just Fatcats!
He is also obviously pissed about the good Senators derailing his 'no dead head jump seat idea', that's why he needs to be shamed into believing adopting the Senate Committee's 22 recommendations is possibly good for his career!
