The solid representation and protection of pilots in this country has to begin. I would like to know,
Is our association in existence at all here in Nigeria anymore? Answer - Can’t see much of an impact of their existence.
1. Who represents Pilots in Nigeria?
2. Who Advocates for Nigerian Pilots Today?
3. Who looks into the safety and security of our Job?
4. Are we still part of the International Federation Airline Pilots Associations?
Answers
1. No one really
2. No one at all
3. No one that I know of
4. No, for a number of years now
NAAPE’s membership of IFALPA has been suspended, due none payment of dues, for many years now.
I have never been keen advocate of having aircraft engineers and pilots in the same union, the marriage of convenience never really worked. We are only reaping what we sow; lack of support and commitment has been the demise of the union.
So where do we go from here? If I remember right some pilots were trying to start up, non trade union, pilot’s only association in the nineties, what happened to it? Any answers?
