Albotross: Totally agree about the ALPA laywers only looking after the ANZ pilots - but for once, the ramifications of their actions are actually helping a few other pilots as well, so why shouldn't they take advantage of it?
Having tried (unsuccessfully) to get ALPA's help in the past, I can't say I'm surprised at their actions or the fact that it shafts a rather large section of their paying members. I'm sure there are alot of other pilots out there who have also had nasty experiences with ALPA and from what I hear, they are voting with their feet......
I guess the handywork has been done now and all we can do is make the best of it and get on with it.....
