Spontaneous applause is useless if it doesn't convert to something else either by annoying Execs, making Board nervous or actually supporting the staff. That Plat FF may or may not have been a company plant but surely they have plans in place when the actions have all been indicated and broadcast widely.
Wouldn't surprise if eventually we have a tit for tat going on, some going to the Company and some to the media as this game escalates. I think it will be more peaceful travelling on trains.
Seems AIPA are content to play a cautious game, so I hope they know what they are doing and have the goods to back it up.
CSM losing his job just plays into the Rats hands in my view. They merely start 24 Aug with one strike and no payout.
Be careful out there and play it safe and by the rules.
