 Australian pilots dispute of 1989 - Appendix by Alex Paterson (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.tamu.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Pre-dispute, an airline incident would have been investigated internally by the Airline's Flight Captain (a management pilot) in consultation with the Manager of Flight Standards (another management pilot) and overseen by the BASI (an independent government body) and the CAA.
Airline management at that time appeared to recognise that an unsafe airline was not a viable airline.
It is the assertion of the author that this sort of inappropriate corporate climate was a direct result of the aftermath of the Pilots' Dispute and could not have existed prior to the Dispute because it would have not been tolerated by most of the pilots employed at that time or the Pilots' Federation.
