Whilst it would be nice to get over the history, it is unfortunate that we have a tendency to repeat the same errors if it is not understood.
You will find from all of my posts here that i have advoocated a united pilot body not the continuing splinters.
Will it happen it is up to you as pilots. As to how it comes together?
Lawrie, great sentiments, except it's not all up to the pilots, it's also about how the AFAP goes about it's business. The nail that was driven into one coffin, and went onto the formation of a splinter group, was the threat from Federation representatives to a pilot body, that unless they fell into line they would receive a visit from Norm Gallagher (remember him of BLF fame?) and his muscle. Might be a tactic that works with some, but certainly didn't on that occasion, quite the opposite.
