You imply employmer/employee negotiations are a level playing field in some sense.

Keep going.

Wow

You deliberately misinterpret something in some lame attempt to appear clever, someone calls out your bullshit then you tell me to have humility. Fuck off. I said Qantas going to Tin pot little developing countries and paying people a pittance for it was exploitative, somehow you in your mickey...

The Jetstar Singapore pilots wouldn't have decided their own wage you spaz.

Yes but that's because you're an idiot. Some might have thought references to the decisions made by "Qantas" were implied references to executives but not you.

I didn't use the 9000 a year figure someone else did.

Don't put the onus on the workers you wanker, Very clearly i was referring to the execs.

But the low cost of living is largely brought on by the low standard of living.

So they'd be getting a tenth or less of what a western pilot would get paid. And you don't find that exploitative?

Depends on the specific job performed, but don't mistake pedantic for clever, you know that this will be exploitative.

There's more to it than that, merely fitting into a shows narrative structure doesn't make changes neccessarilly successful but to my knowledge Dr Who has adapted itself quite seamlessly to social evolution. Incidentally I think I might be the only person who likes Matt Smith but doesn't...

You imply they won't have a different gambit up their sleeves. At any rate I am an internationalist, I have no problems with Australian jobs going overseas provided the overseas employee is still paid a reasonable wage for the work completed, and don't try and tell me that's going to happen with...

Alright, I'll accept the 70 million dollar figure, that makes it $170 million Qantas have squandered in their mean spirited, bitchy little game with the unions, I mean, did I hear a major part of the dispute pertained to uniforms? You'll also note the same articles you linked speculated...

My understanding of Kinsey is that a perfectly Bi-sexual person is almost as rare and impossible as a perfectly homosexual or perfectly heterosexual person that almost anyone who identifies as bi-sexual, if you narrow it down specific enough, will have a slight preference. That's not to say...

Yeah Dr Who is a fair call, I'm not a fan of the show personally but its long lasting success, it's ability to reinvent itself etc is commendable.

The high ration of contemporary shows in peoples answers suggests to me they don't really get the concept behind "ever." I'd say MASH or maybe The Simpsons or Seinfeld, outside of the US I suppose the impact and influence of The Office is hard to move past. Not sure about what are the defining...

I've never read any business or commerce materials before I'll grant you but presumably corporate financial decisions are made with some desire to increase profitability, as opposed pyrrhic victories over the unions and trashing future earnings by ratfucking the brands image in the process.
