May i suggest that you get your facts straight about JQ pilots membership within AIPA before posting such misguided rubbish.

I can tell you that at the time that Impulse was being formed, a group of senior Impulse pilots approached the president of AIPA,seeking information about potential membership and coverage of Impulse pilots by AIPA.

The rules at the time precluded AIPA from offering membership. It was as a result of this meeting that the Impulse Pilots Council was formed.

As many now know, years later, AIPA took legal action and won the right of coverage of what now had become JQ pilots.

Your suggestion that the Impulse/Jetstar pilots chose not to join and are now running with their tails between their legs to join is fiction.

Why do i know this to be fact? Simply because i was the one who put the idea of membership forward to these Impulse pilots at the time.

The rest is history.
