Good on you guys and girls at NJS
May this be the start of making piloting in Australia a career to aspire towards....
I heard from a good mate in NJS that management will be sh!++ing their pants and will just 'come to the party' -- lets hope

What what is it you DO want !!??
Well done my colleagues for your unity. I am neither a new pilot or a member of The Wan#!ers Umbrella and not covered by the threatened action as I preferred to sit down and discuss what NJS needed for me to give THEM so they could give ME an AWA over 5 years to keep pace (outrun) the inevitable growth of CPI under the ALP (NOTE: that is not criiticism of the ALP but will be a fact).
So I understand the chestbeaters now have legal permission to go along with their rhetoric but what is it they want other than a TWU logo on their document - and what are they willing to give so they won't send their company under along the way ???????????????
No.....hang on......you are allowed to wear what you want instead of a uniform so why not just on strike AND wear your costume of choice (which I am sure will be a clown suit with a big red nose) so you can audition for your next job at the same time !!!
Seriously though - good luck in any case - I understand why you are doing what you are doing - just don't think you need to be doing it.

Dear Mr Blaster, with the greatest respect, the mere fact that you have to resort to the rhetoric you do, suggests that your argument is flaccid and without foundation.

Come on 5DOGS, spill the beans, what have you heard in the hallowed halls?
AMOS2, since you did it twice I assume it is genuine ignorance versus a typo- it is NONSENSE not NONSENCE.

Well, well, well, I'm actually on your side re NJS and what you're trying to achieve, even tho your cause means nothing to me personally.
Might have to change my mind about that if you're going to act like pathetic, pedantic little G/A pricks!!
And I stand corrected, by the way.

Those assets would possibly be purchased by a company that was interested in actually running an air service company. If the airframes were still flying (as they would be in the West as nothing viable to replace them at a similar cost structure) then the engineers, cabin crew and pilots would still find work.
Cobham never really wanted NJS/QL they wanted the surveillance work as it aligns with the Cobham group core business.
Whichever way this goes NJS will change hands in the next two years. Probably a good thing, to be owned by someone with air service experience. Cobham do not have this experience and have had the wool pulled over their eyes by an ego driven and very ambitious CEO who is using his FIRST management job as a springboard into bigger and better things.

Not a blacklist - just assessing people based on their previous actions.
Everyone gets held to account at some stage for their actions and is judged on them.
Be it in a court for some things or in the opinion of others.
It's funny you mention fascism given your opposition to capitalism - there is a big difference between an economic and political system.

A competitive market system that assesses it's potential employees is far from fascism.
If you don't then why cant we exercise our rights under the political system to make the capitalist system work how it should.

Deserve?? ha! That's what is wrong with your opinion. You don't DESERVE anything.
Really. Got some figures on the import of Iraqi oil into the US on a percentage basis of total imports? How big were the US Oil reserves in 2003? What does war do to the price of oil - a little fact all the "It's a war for oil" forget. The best thing the US could have done for their imports would have been to become best mates with Iraq.
'm happy for you to exercise your right. Your right to quit and get another job. Isn't there a pilot shortage?
If any of the NJS pilots wanted to move up to QF or DJ I reckon they have just put a black mark on their resume.
