Wonderful Red but what did you or your family do to try and resolve the dispute we had in '89?
Blaming the Pilots for all of your problems in '89 is naive in the extreme mate.
Why dont you blame the Airline managers for refusing to negotiate at all ( during repeated meetings over the contracts, one meeting in Lorne in particular springs to mind ) or Bob Hawke for helping to make it a lot worse whilst helping his mate Abeles. We all know what their true agenda was.
( and still is in Qantas )
Grow up and smell the coffee pal.
