The vote was like finding any one who voted for Gough Whitlam, he won twice but everyone denies having voted for him. As for pilots helping the company I see it differently, they are helping themselves as they consider AIPA useless. When Qantas pilots split from the AFAP the then president Barry Fitzsimmons said at a meeting if you leave the AFAP you will eventually just become another arm of Qantas management. He was 100% correct.
