Undercut how ? The company offers employment for x amount and you accept that or you don't. It's the company that set remuneration. The operation wasn't replacing an already existing operation, no picket line was crossed, and no ban was in effect. I am not sure who you think is currently in the top 30 senior positions at VA (
VB has been gone almost 6 years) but in fact a good number there now came from Turboprop operations in Australia. A faint but distinct whiff of sour grapes here.
