Lost Wing Nut,
You are absolutely dead right - the AFAP needs to engage pilots at the GA level. Only then, and only maybe then, there will not be splinter rep groups in Virgin and Jetstar that the AFAP waste increasing amounts of legal fees opposing.

ANOTHER thread almost
begging the AFAP to show some leadership... maybe they will say something more than "the AFAP is about its members and maybe you should be contributing rather than criticising us on an anonymous internet forum blah blah blah"
I have moved from "employee" to "employer" recently but I have kept up my membership regardless in the hope that some good may come of it... one day...
