Framer, the only verbal threats and acts of intimidation I've seen so far are actually
towards the ones taking the industrial action. The intimidation traffic, as a whole, has been largely one-way and oddly enough, most guys are refusing to buckle and also quite rightly refusing to retaliate beyond what is authorised by PIA, no matter what the temptation.
Furthermore, my reference to "ostracising" (if that's what you call not particularly wanting to socialise with an individual) was directed towards specific types of individuals. For example, the one who quoted the following exact words under his real name in a private message on an internal QF pilots message board, in reference to not joining the industrial action and not particularly caring what happened to more junior pilots (I have a copy of it BTW):
Enjoy the rest of your career. What's left of it. Ha ha ha ha.
There are certain words to describe people like the above which cannot be written on these forums. These are precise examples of individuals with whom I'd choose not to socialise. But apparently my attitude is an immature one? What, shall I send him a nice christmas card instead? Invite him round for dinner?
