The AFAP membership is no more than the shackle to the MBF for most. A new viable alternative will be welcome for significant numbers, enabling opportunity to explore different representation options.
I beg to differ. I can’t speak to the complaints regarding the Jetstar Pilot’s Council made previously but certainly at the an airline that has recently been in administration, the efforts of the Pilot’s council and AFAP employees has been tireless and commendable. As for alternative representation, well there “was” VIPA. How did that turn out ? Not that those involved didn’t give it their best, but eventually ran into the industrial reality of Australian Aviation.
