Toolish
I was not tarring all with the same brush. Not my intention.
Agree with your view of the seperate "groups" that make up JQ pilots but its (with a few exceptions) the 1900/717 guys who are sitting back with the whole "Whats AIPA doing for me?" attitude.
If every pilot took that attitude, there'd be no progress at all.
In the words of a US President once, "Its not what your Union can do for you. Its what you can do......."
Or something like that. I would suggest that its these guys with the most history in the company that have the most to contribute and arguably have the greatest vested interest in long term outcomes, yet they sit back expecting results before joining the union, if indeed they do at all.
It doesnt work like that.
