It looks like the pilots strike had massive implications for the whole community. Imagine if the pilots of today planned a strike? It would be even worse, although, this time around, the engineers would probably strike again as well. Can you put a value on flying safely? Especially in comparison to flying dangerously? Flying sure beats a ship. Although maybe the environment would thank us if we flew less often.
The Pilots dispute is ridiculous. In search of a 24% pay rise and normal working hours? Your dreaming. They get paid alot more than normal businessmen who work those hours. And the public relies on them every day...ridiculous

Thanks Mr Nelson. I'd strongly recommend the former of these two sites for anyone ressearching the Pilots' Strike; the information is of great depth and detail.
I've found that some of the most informative websites have been Newspaper reports on the courier mail, sunday mail etc websites.
