Day 59: Stranded

Stranded in LA. Could be worse.......Is there a right and wrong re the current dispute. On the one side you have a large company that has run rough shot over it's employees and is currently resourcing overseas pilots and maintenance contracts. Not to mention a rather substantial pay rise and bonus given to the CEO of that company for a rather poor performance in managing a company which is losing money, losing money on the sharemarket and has very poor people skills. The flip side, a bloody minded union fighting for what they believe is right. Good pay for fair work, keeping an Australian icon Australian and fighting for what Australia was built on " the god given right of any Australian to be given a fair go"...That seems like I have chosen sides, well I have. The CEO created this dispute to force the hand of the government to intervene and stop further industrial action. Wouldn't of been better to maybe addressed the problems that exist and work out a plan that was common to both parties......Don't give in boys......
