Question

QUESTIONS-:

Why are there two groups representing Pilots ie. AFAP and AIPA (besides the obvious)?

What does one offer a select few that the other dosnt offer to the rest of the industry?

Isnt this an example of the "divide and conquer" rule?

What has the other done for the "bottom end" of the industry?

What has the one for the select few done for their sector of the industry (seems that those particular pilots are still winging about pay and conditions)?

Maybe these have already been contested time and time again on these forums, I just have not checked.

on a further note - no, I dont subscribe to either of these groups, and find it hard to justify the expence as I cant see the advantage at present - pilots are still squabbling over pay and conditions. Furthermore, I cant see that it will change in the near (5 years or more) future. Call it naive, stupid or whatever, but I do pay full comprehensive insurance on my car just in case I need to make a claim though!

Just some genuine questions, require some genuine answers, not the bullshyte that flows freely from pi$$ed off pilots!

Cheers, and KEEP SMILING SUNSHINERS!!
