To answer these (rhetorical) questions you’d probably need to get in touch with the AIPA Jetstar reps who’ve resigned their positions and joined the AFAP. Allegedly, they did so in order to be a part of the forthcoming PIA having been effectively prevented from conducting their own ballot by the AIPA hierarchy (for entirely rational reasons if your membership is overwhelmingly comprised of QF LH and SH pilots).
