Have a great deal of empathy with Qantas staff on this one ! Was newly between jobs when The Dispute wrecked the airline industry in 89! I was offered an FO slot with Australian , but how I hated Hawke and Abeles with a passion and spewed at the thought of working for and with scabs I declined. Try and explain that to a wife and two school aged kids (at that time )whose Dad couldnt get a job!!!I hav nt flown since 1991 and have been border line broke ,farming ,ever since but I can always stand and say that I didnt SCAB!! Hang in there chaps .That little c---t has shot himself up the arse with this one.
