Because you may want to give back something to the Aviation grassroots – you know – general aviation.
Because you may want to lend support to someone other than Qantas group pilots.
Because you may be able to learn a thing or two from other pilot groups within the federation that have or are experiencing similar problems to you.
Because you may want to be a part of something that is bigger than your own insular self.
Because you may want to support the entire industry.
Because you may want the industry to speak with one voice.
Because one pilot union in Australia is better than two.
Because one pilot union will be unstoppable.
If you can’t see the value in one pilots union, then collective bargaining, looking out for your fellow aviators, supporting your brothers and sisters across the entire industry, learning from others within the industry, and unionism probably isn’t for you.
