As interesting an idea as this is, I have to ask, do you want to help save the airline, or help run it into the ground.

Whilst admirable, can you imagine:
  • The additional cost imposed defending this, given the already >$300M loss in first six months
  • Reputation damage the court case will cause (yes I know AJ has already trashed it)
  • Concern the flying public may have with flying on QF due to what gets dredged up

Don't get me wrong, I completely agree that the current *mis*management seem to have done their dandiest to trash the airline, but is it prudent to add further hurt. Are you trying to help your members, or put more financial pressure on their job security?

Surely there is a more prudent public campaign that could be waged, without going down the costly court path. Can you imagine what this would cost in the long run, and if you lose, you will be expected to pay QF costs for brining the case against them.
