Safety Issue
So the fleet is grounded due to the "safety issue" that employees that are to to be locked out will go ballistic - ie, the pilots, engineers and ground staff? Why then were the engineers not sent home packing straight away? Instead they continued to work on the aircraft in the fleet - as well as the pollies BBJ - over the rest of the weekend and on the Monday until the lock-out was rescinded.
So the grounding was not really due to any perceived "safety issue" was it AJ?
