Hughie Williams 'received a pineapple' a fortnight ago and is no longer at the helm.
Apart from the fact that he was an "eh, but" Queenslander, it sounds like Hughie deserved what came to him:

Hughie Williams and the TWU - ABC Queensland - Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC)

On the TWU generally, I don't think anybody could reasonably argue that it doesn't get things done. An old mate of mine once said "pilots don't join unions for the hell of it; their employers force them to". It is a shame that we as a fraternity aren't treated with the respect that our qualifications deserve.

Renurpp, I didn't forget...

Renurpp,

CC and WWIP you forgot the extra 5 weeks of days (fro memory about 2 yrs of days off for around 70 odd pilots). Neither the AFAP nor TWU were of help there.
Simply, not my win to mention.

Lots of great moments.

But, this is by far my favourite memory of you 'doing business' with the Company.

My quick calculation puts your win (No union support at all) at this;

70 Pilots (Mostly Captains at time of settlement) with an average of 32 RDOs each recovered by you.

=2240 RDOs
=Approx $860 000 worth of days off recovered.

You are, definitely, not on the Bean Counters Christmas card list.

Capt Claret,

There is no better F#ck You letter writer and speech maker than you. Your elegance and eloquence leaves the poor battered recipient with no choice but to thank you for the pummelling received.

Combined, there is no-one I would rather have to watch my back. This has been just like old times.

Should we get the group back together and go back for round two??

Merry Christmas to All and to All a Good Night!!

Cheers,

WWIP

While there are a few of you here (and no doubt others reading.)

Merry Christmas to my fellow Cobham aviators! Have a good one.
