Dehavillanddriver, whilst there may be some personality issues I think the big problem is the AIPA hierarchy and leadership, having for all of its existence being in total control of its constituents, can't accept or adapt to what would be a far more devolved entity with various Pilot Councils. They have been very insular in the past towards any 'outsiders' and strike me as a very ossified organization stuck in an ever decreasing comfort zone (QF mainline). Many within QF mainline itself have become unhappy with the direction of the Association and I believe there was a large turnover at the last election.
