PM: You'll excuse me laughing but from day one in this
dispute Mr Peacock and the Opposition is totally supportive
of the pilots. They've put all their questions in the
Parliament, everything they've said has been supportive of
the pilots which is in a sense not surprising because the
pilots are following the Opposition's industrial relations
policy. The Opposition says, ' opt out of the system, if you
want to go out, get outside', so that's what the pilots did
straight according to the Opposition's policy. They've gone
outside the system then Peacock's been bleating saying, ' fix
it up, fix it up, fix it up', after they've got out, as he
told them to and now of course he says he* ll go and talk to
them. Well I think that*' s appropriate because they've been
talking one another's language, following one another's
policy all this time, they really deserve one another.
