I understand the Eastern Pilots Group was formed to put Eastern Pilots in charge of their destiny, not some outdated Sub Branch/ State Branch system run by pilots and industrial offers out of touch with the majority.
The AFAP, AIPA and TWA are all service providers and as such we are free to choose who for us will provide the best service, it is not about leaving the AFAP its about choice….
The EPG will be for their members (the majority of pilots with Eastern) seek to get the best EBA they can.
The AFAP have stated as long as they have one member they have the right to attend EBA discussions, that would apply to AIPA and the TWU if they had members and a little competition from competing unions might make for an interesting EBA.
