Is it little wonder Jetstar pilots see little to be gained from any association with AIPA.
Wrong Chimbu. It was not about limiting the growth of J*- all of us in the group can see the benefit of having an appropriate model in that market. It was however about limiting the ability of J*'s growth to impact adversely on the pay and conditions of all group pilots and to ensure that the conditions would actually encourage mainline pilots to take up some of the 7:20 positions available in J*.
Still, as many of us have said. Feel free to say 'yes' if you reckon that you're sticking it to us. There is no doubt that we'll take a hit but the bullet has to travel through you guys to get to us! Good luck.
Just say 'no'.
