the weekend may have tipped the PR war slightly in your favour.
Would have thought so, but the snap polls havn't been as bad as I would have thought for AJ.

I believe that the best way to continue your momentum would be for all of those in dispute to agree to let Capt Woodward be the spokesperson for ALL disaffected Qantas workers
That would be a good move. The actions up to Saturday was inovative, and by themselves could not have triggered the actions of AJ. The problem is the public see pilots as elite, the other problem is the public see TWU and go cr@p more union thuggery, whether the TWU is in the right or not.

The problem is a lot of people see QANTAS workers as what we used to call in other industry's as Koala bears (protected species). If QANTAS has to survive then these perceptions need to be countered.
