The problem with AIPA as a QF denominated union, is that it has too many question marks over it to be considered an "independent" negotiator for other pilot groups.
Not for me.
AIPA and its QF pilots have as much vested interest in this as everyone else. AIPA demonstate they know this by hosting these pilot meetings, and by the disproportionate amount of money they have spent on the JQ pilot group recently.
Afterall, when you've got the best contract in this part of the world, there's only one direction things can go.
