Unions for GA Pilots?

G'day all,

I am shortly re-commencing employment in GA after a bit of a hiatus (as we all have to suffer from time to time ). I have decided to join AFAP as I am very supportive of the union movement in general, but am a little concerned that GA drivers perhaps aren't the targeted market of AFAP, despite being the ones that require support and assistance the most?

A quick look through the contacts page on their website lists Capts and F/Os working for various regionals like Eastern, Sunstate and O'Connors, but are there any delegates or representatives working in any of the smaller GA companies?

I couldn't help but think maybe their lack of representation at the grass roots is what is hurting their potential member numbers?

Just a thought, I don't mean to offend anyone from AFAP I just believe it would be best aired in a forum such as this in case other people out there were asking the same questions.

Cheers,
TL
