What an angry young man
I guess it is easy stand on the side lines and criticise all sides of the pilot’s representatives - AFAP-VIPA-AIPA.
The act of joining a union is a start but unless the MEMBERS actually initiate some action, get involved with the day to day running of whatever union takes their fancy and participate then it will ultimately deteriorate into another slanging match of who has done naught!
Your criticism of the 'die hard' AFAP advocates maybe valid but walk in my shoes (and his) first before you become the doyen of Industrial Relations in Australian Aviation.
You indicate you have left the AFAP, joined the VIPA and would be more than willing to join AIPA.
Perhaps that famous Y Generation characteristic of 'I want it now - I deserve it now - give it to me now' is part of the problem as well.
My generation had a characteristic.......I think it was called loyalty.
I'm glad you now walk taller for your new growth spurt!
