That’s Brilliant LeadSled.
Let the company know. From now and into the future, if an ex-AIPA Executive member is in league with Qantas, to any EA, then it will be a No Vote on ethical industrial principles. That should keep the alleged low life turn-coats away from the corridors of Power … and maybe some on the AIPA Executive from allegedly selling out their fellow Pilots! An interesting concept?
Justin Beaver. NS may well be out of AIPA, however many of us ask, was NS also out of AIPA and/or acting in a more alleged self-interest manner when he pushed the deal for Pilots to lose Night Credits, Bidding Rights and Overtime on the B-787? The industrial lines become very blurred with such events!
Simply stated, if one desires to run for AIPA Office, one should also be willing to sign a Disclosure Agreement (DA) that one will not accept any office in Qantas Flight Management or an opposing Industrial Position or Employment for a specified time limit (7 years). There can be No Argument otherwise! Standard business practice nowadays!
However, it will take the long haul Pilots to have a unified consensus on such DA's and focus on future Ethical Outcomes if this is to be achieved.
