ATTENTION AIPA
Why is it that the meeting which will be probably the largest gathering of pilot's for many years is AFTER the election? Quite conveniently the Monday 2 days after the Saturday election. This is a golden opportunity to expose what this government and management are complicit to in off shoring AUSTRALIAN jobs and yet the opportunity to expose this through media etc is being squandered.This is a PRE election issue, NOT a POST election. No doubt AIPA don't want to upset the labor party and affect their votes BEFORE the election. The labor government have been aware of this practice for years with Cabin Crew via the FAAA and individual complaints to Gillard herself when she was deputy PM and yet they have done NOTHING. It does not mean the liberal government will stop this un-Australian rape of the aviation industry, but it would force their hand to come out with some sort of policy BEFORE the election so people can make an informed decision when they vote.
Very suss indeed why it is AFTER the election. A response from AIPA would no doubt be appreciated since recent phone calls can't answer this.
