Meanwhile, the other group EA’s, which have been the domain of the AFAP, are mostly, by their own admission, bouncing along, barely above the award, if not below.
It’s about results, not short term, feel good sugar hits, like PIA for no other reason but to ‘stick it to the company’.
So by all means, try to find a connection between PIA and the actual advancements of pilot conditions, however I’m not sure history reads the way you think it does.
