Ah Mole, ever read The Wind in the Willows? Are you supposed to be a caricature of that 'good old Moley'? Well you have succeeded you are one nasty Mole, maybe you come from a dimension where rudeness and stupidity are valued. Rant on. I wasn't 'scoring' TB's post just congratulating him on a very readable one. Why must disagreement mean enmity? Just because we don't have the same, at the moment, politico - industrial beliefs, it doesn't follow that we never have had or never will have. Small minded irrational people should have restricted access to keyboards.
Garhauer - 1100 union membership sure there is.
BusyB - please re-read my post, perhaps if any company offer had been accepted in and around those times the COS changes would not have been forced.
Flexible Response - I understand not all people are as honest as you but from all I have gleaned from many conversations the firings were not instigated by NR. Put yourself in the company's shoes for a moment, a long term of continuous union intransigence and action, that action mildly increased with threats of more to come, reasonable offers rejected, loads low and flights cancelled, company - to meet the then demand - over manned. To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Every brick in the wall between the AOA and the company will have to be removed eventually, know any good stone masons?
