It's no different in AIPA. Whilst one would like to believe they are interested in looking after you blokes in real life they are not.
What they are interested in is getting in to bed with management so that when the music stops they have a seat to sit on. If they can control you blokes then this assists the cause.
Additionally one needs to look at the motivation of the leaders of AIPA. IMO it is all about the wrong thing. Rather than taking on senior postions in AIPA for the purpose of furthering the T & C's of their fellow pilots they are more interested in power.
If past history is any guide and if they do a good enough "job" then they will be rewarded with more power by being given a management position.
