Keith,
You make some good points, however don't forget that the AFAP are the ones who are signatories to the disgraceful EBA that the JQ pilots work under.
If they had done a better job in the first place none of this stuff would have happened.
AIPA do have their issues but they have been taking it up to JQ management for a couple of years now, holding them to account at every opportunity, so to say they are not making life difficult for JQ management is tad out of touch.
