I’m hearing that a number of 747 pilots feeling that AIPA and Qantas will sell them out in the RIN have authorised their own negotiationing representative to act on their behalf, add into that also the AFAP getting involved and I think this will not be the push over as the last one was.
Remember during the last EA when the hero of EBA 8 - GD decided unilaterally he was going to put himself up as a negotiator seperate from AIPA with his own log of claims?? Remember how well that worked out?
And AFAP’s rule change was struck off so it would be illegal for them to represent Qantas LH pilots in the negotiation.
If 744 pilots are worried about the RIN it would be a lot smarter to call their manager or the AIPA exec rather than put their faith in a party who Qantas won’t negotiate with or one they legally can’t negotiate with.
