Pilot Union - what do they do for the Industry
It is quite interesting watching the decline of our pay and conditions, as the employers are quite aware, we do not stick together, that will never change.
Airline Pilots are the largest demographic of members and now it's happening to them as well.
If we want change, we should start lobbying the Federal Government / local members to put inplace some sort of proper and appropriate safety net for our profession.
Unions / Federations representing Pilots have proven over and over they are incapable of any major win and unwilling to put their necks on the line and do some real good.
Apparently one organisation, a federation infact was called on by one of its financial members to represent them in the resolution of a long running dispute with their employer, the organisations Executive Officer and Financial Controller decreed that it was financially unviable for them to represent this member ( or words to that effect ).
Talk about selective representation, luckily my membership is not current and neither shall it be in the future.
To the organisation involved, you should be ashamed of yourselves.
