well this certainly gives all those saying that "AIPA has changed" a chance to ensure that AIPA shows its interest in ALL pilots.
I have spent years flying all over the world to places most AIPA members have never heard of and they never once contacted me to see if I needed coverage as an Australian International Pilot. The AFAP did, from day one.
That aside, I am more than happy to join an enlarged union if it covers all pilots and allows individual pilot groups to determine their own future. That is democracy after all.
Now the next move is in AIPAs court. I await the outcome............
