I note with interest the new President talking up the burden of Fuel prices for Qantas in his submissive Insights.
His cut and paste from google is sadly incorrect as fuel is falling due to increasing US stock piles of oil from Shale and the declining influence of OPEC.
The new president did surprisingly fail to mention the Global pilot shortage. It was more sympathetic to Qantas than the chief pilots email.
But then It is all a question of where someone ultimately has aspirations.
We have seen it all before.
Can somebody explain to the readership whether there is a simple 'no compete' clause for senior union office holders?
Given the position held by the former President and some interesting posturing from the new fellow ascertaining precisely where their 'ambition' resides ought be high on the list of considerations for the membership.
The current position with many associations (unions) worldwide is that there is an embargo on assuming management/training positions, so that members know in what interest the executive works!
Is this the case at AIPA?
