Sounds good.

How many separate unions in OZ aviation at the moment? Who'd be the right men to take up the reigns of such an organisation? Would airline pilots really be so interested in looking after their GA brethren? How would one become the dominant union if others exist at present? As alluded to before, why would 2300 odd QF members want to change their membership? Would the union that QF members are a part of consider expanding their umbrella to encompass all pilots? Would the separate unions maybe consider merging and taking on different sectors of aviation but under one umbrella? No honest idea to the answers, but maybe something that could be discussed.

I'm sure everyone agrees that a united front against unfair management tactics would be beneficial, question is how. What a great thread to put our collectrive heads together to come up with some ideas for those in the know to persue. It would also help if there wasn't such a high pilot to job ratio, but that's another story (John Anderson, feel like doing something!)....

Cheers
