can see the angst GT has caused, but isn't it true, ie, don't QF pilots and engineers get paid considerably more than virgin et al in Aus, and more than competitors overseas.
We can thrash out which company pays more, however the issue is job security, not money. We are not asking for $$$, just a chance to keep maintaining our airline and it's reputation for safety that was second to none. This issue of pay keeps being brought up by management, not us, and is diverting us away from the real issues/agenda.
