me thinks that the union/AFAP KNOW that people are not happy, yet they persist in doing nothing.

NOW is the time for ALL full time employed pilots to join together and create a STRONG, UNITED front.

Maybe joining the TWU or similar is the way to go ? didn't THEY just get bus drivers some 21% ?

Maybe the police union ? or the teachers union? I am sick to death of hearing about how LITTLE teachers get paid, and that they are always on strike and now they get paid "danger money"
cos students are even more of a brat now than ever!

WHAT ABOUT US ? doesn't hijacking deserve danger money ? what about IMC flying ? Approaches to minima?

What about shifty work allowances ? public holidays and penalty rates?

Politicians get paid HUGE amounts of super because "their job is not secure" ... WHAT ABOUT PILOTS ? Fail a medical or sim/ piss off yer boss/ company goes belly up/etc etc!

and NOW... we get the OPPORTUNITY to invest MORE into our already stagnant careers by BUYING endorsements!!!!!

No thanks!
