What would it take to vote as members to merge the AFAP, AIPA, VIPA into one union? We could then have the current AFAP side dealing with the GA side of the membership and proper representation from the ground up, the AIPA/VIPA side dealing with the airline side of the membership no matter what is painted on your tail.
We could have the usual union representative for each Pilot group, however they would operate under the direction of the main body. This would limit the current union agendas, save us as members a bucket load of cash paying the current incumbents (particularly in the AFAP) who are not really doing a hell of a lot to improve our lot. We would then have a more unified agreement across the airline groups for Pilots rather than the current disparities between workplaces.
Wishful thinking or achievable? I'm sure WE as members could make it happen if we put forward a motion and voted on it. Getting the union reps into the same room would be like trying to lasso a racehorse Goanna however!
