I would hold out no hope on this one.
Why?
Because most pilots involved in this one are "fortunate enough to earn over 80K". So therefore probably not Labor voters.
Look at the FWA track record in regards to investigating a particular member of that organisation. In contrast defence is required to generate 6 or more reports in 12 months investigating over 750 cases because the minister says so.
The nurses union on the other hand thumbs its nose at the FWA and all the Law Courts disregarding all orders. Do you think anything will happen to them in response to that from the FWA....time will tell. I bet you if AIPA had disregarded any rulings there would have been no doubt there would have been repercussions.
That quote by the way comes from Julia Gillard on the floor of parliament. So the next time you are enjoying your IRT renewal, just think how fortunate you are to have worked your backside off to earn a living.
To clarify she wasn't talking about pilots she was reffering to anyone earning over 80K who actually pays tax in this country,
