Unions in Australia are a shadow of what they used to be and in some cases, that’s for the better. I worked very closely with a Pilots Union in Australia, that wasn’t the AFAP and in that short time, I came to the conclusion the AFAP pretty much had no idea about what they were doing and even less about anything that wasn’t contained within the Petri dish that is Australian Aviation.
There’s a lot that might be negative about E3’s but the last thing they’re doing is putting downward pressure on wages or conditions in the US.
