AIPA, AFAP & VIPA are well aware of the representation model used to unite all British airlines and pilots under the BALPA umbrella.
That the ‘Will to Unite’ has not been forthcoming down-under is indeed a worry.
Hopefully the creation of the Australian Pilots Association (APA) will now be forthcoming.
Without it, directing Australia’s aviation industry will increasingly fall to those who believe that the pursuit of profit maximisation has no obligation to sustainable quality outcomes built over generations on government largess and military standards, but now taken for granted by just about all.
No APA = No chance.
Think United!
