has anybody heard from the AFAP on this matter
The weakest link/the mole in a unified pilot community. Their silence/weak approach on the above matters has convinced me that they are the problem and not the solution.
I'm sorry, but how is Joe an AFAP matter? I was of the impression that he was an AIPA Com Member, not AFAP.
AFAP have submitted their views to the Senate Inquiry. If you had looked at the AFAP website under general news you would have seen that. You would have even seen their approach to off shoring.
It seems that your only acceptable action would be unprotected industrial action.
