P.S.;
C'mon, what will a union do for the average G.A. pilot?.
Take 1.5% of your meagre pay, give you bad advice, stage a walkout and when non-union pilots walk-in to your job the union will drop you like a school bag.
Where else can the union solidarity put pressure on GA operators?.
CASA - think again.
AIRSERVICES - Ha!
FUEL SUPPLY - Independant operators and contractors, no luck there.
ENGINEERS - (see FUEL).
Don't like where you are - leave!.
Apply to a good operator. They are out there. Give you a hint. They are the ones that have been around a while, have good condition aircraft and a steady client base.
As as been mentioned many times over the years......
Operators are not the main problem. The biggest problem lies with Pilots themselves.
