With all due respect to you, the AFAP are a joke and can not to be taken seriously.
It wasnt that long by ago the AFAP advised the NJS pilots to accept an agreement ”it was a good deal” they said. It was rubbish. It wasn’t accepted and the pilots chose a different union to represent them. and achieved way better conditions. The point being unions/federations , whatever name they go by are simply people with their own agendas, which do not always represent the pilot body. Whilst NJS conditions may no be ideal and I support I mprovements, you cannot say. its because the pilots didn’t obey some dodgy federation and remember their conditions to date have been way ahead of Network/Alliance/Air North or an other comparable company.
