Depends on what you mean by "Decent win"?

There are many individuals who've had reason to thank the AFAP for chasing back-pay, non-payment of xxx, etc.

Similarly, there are many individuals who've had the AFAP represent them successfully in disputes against their employers.

On the collective front, the feds recently have facilitated some very good EBA's, especially with some of the helicopter outfits.

Last year, the Feds drove the FWA to make a ruling that gave Eastern and Sunstate pilots to change companies (within the Qantas group) without having to take three months off work. A big win for us; especially the Sunstate guys who wanted to transfer to Melbourne/Sydney!

There are plenty more. But you wont hear about them here.

Here, you'll mostly get ill-informed comment and general negativity.

A good example being the AFAP trying to improve the T&C's of VA Crz FO's. They've only just started their action, and there is a queue on Prune to shoot them down.


DIVOSH!
