It will lose the airline millions but it will force Government intervention. And the Government will have little choice but to come down on whatever side has popular support - in QAN's case, the regulator simply threw out all the union's key demands after ordering the strike and lockout to cease. In the AIR case, I can't see it ending up very different, as the sales pitch to the public so far by E Tu is atrocious.
