Nipper,
and there is the reason why a very large majority of pilots have absolutely nothing to do with AFAP, they lack credibility by both association to LK and their inaction in situations like yours.
Again we pilots vote with our feet, an organisation like AFAP should sell itself, some level of protection from bad employers and CASA, i've seen neither embodied in any of their actions.
So surely by their own actions AFAP has to already know this ?, not a real good marketing stategy.
I wonder if these three FOI's will renew their memberships next financial year, or introduce any new business ?.
