I'm on the 737. There was an overwhelming sense from those I fly with, was that the AIPA President was clearly more focused on having the A380 stood up than the issues facing both the A330/ B787 (especially long term isolation, you only have to look at the current arguments about the DRW/ PDG and CNS/HKG flying to see how out of touch they are) and the allocation of Stand Up's on the B737 (some Junior F/o's I fly with have had 4 BP's more stood down than the senior F/o's in one of the bases).
From looking at the AEC results (yes, I did vote), it is time for a generational change in AIPA, hopefully someone like JL can become President, he seems to have a good working relationship with QF management, whilst having the ability to say no to them.
