Did the Union ever consider finding out what changes they would need to make to become the pilot workforce of choice?
Yes, when AIPA's negotiators enquired, "How much do we have to give to guarantee our flying"?, the reply was "Even if you offered to fly the B787 for nothing, we wouldn't take you!" (or words to that effect).

I assure you that we are not testicularly challenged. One of the big mistakes made by the domestic pilots in 1989 was to operate outside the "industrial system". We are determined not to make that mistake but we are resolved to keep fighting to protect not only our jobs but the careers for future pilots who want to reside in Australia. GB
