Things are becoming a bit quieter on the bruised ego front as some of the more vocal 'old guard' realise people are not at all impressed with the way they ran the show in the past and are retreating to hide in their caves somewhere.
The new AIPA people are more focused on looking after everyones interests, which can be seen in how more junior crew are listened to and looked after nowadays. These signs are positive for pilots of other groups. In days gone by, the 400 Captains club seemed to benefit the most from negotiations and agreements, with the belief you will all be senior and in that position one day so take the shafting we are giving you. This does not appear to be happening now.
To me, in my few years experience, this mob appears to be the most professional, open and so far accountable group running the union.
