People are so quick to dig the boot in with talk of being the "worst paid narrow body pilots in the country" but here they are using smart and legal tactics to improve their conditions but others want to condem them...
JB will certainly think twice about attempting to replace you with cheaper crew if said crew have proven to have an industrial backbone and know how to fight for a fair EBA.
You should be thanking your Tiger cousins.


Is the AFAP the only industrial organisation with members at Tigerair?
Yes.

Seems like the Tiger boys and girls, joined one union (a pilot union with 3,500 members that negotiates EBA covering instruction, charter, chopper, and airlines) and used legal means to put pressure on their employer, to become the best paid A320 pilots in the region.

The tiger pilots used the KISS principal and got a great result.

Why are fellow pilots looking to poke holes in that?
