BBB, a couple of points to add a bit of sensibility to your posts (which wouldn't be hard):
The AIPA exec are constrained by the list of industrial action initiatives on the ballot. They're not about to barge headlong into multiple actions like a bull in a china shop. A little care, planning, and targetting of the action is required.
I'm certain too, that if they can use this overwhelming vote to get Qantas back to the negotiating table and seriously talking job security (which Qantas had no interest at all in discussing previously) and avoid industrial action all together, they will. That would be the sort of result which would be in the best interests of all parties, and the travelling public.
It's a pity it had to come to this. But Joyce and the Board have been sent a message which is so clear that even someone with the mental capacity of a spotted-newt could understand it.
