The first thing that has to happen is that the different pilot groups HAVE to get together as a single group. They will not get anywhere unless they do so.
Many are concerned that the AFAP is not doing it's job as they have conflicting interests (??) to represent (viz Southern, Eastern, Impulse etc) and there is open talk again of AIPA. Certainly many believe that AIPA might well do a better job of getting the group together and sorting out a deal with QF.
Until this is done, you can bet that the mismanagement of QF in handling the QLink regionals will continue and it will be the staff that will be screwed at the end of the day. Many have worked their collective buts off for many years for the QF Empire and to be treated the way they are now is making many just plain ashamed to be part of such an icon.
