VIPA
So any comments from this article posted yesterday on Tips and Rumours at Crikey.
Crikey, would it not be better if they could just form as a branch of AIPA, united we stand RA RA RA.....
If AIPA is offering to represent Jetstar pilots why not also include Virgin?
Pilots are about to go on strike. After two years of negotiations the pilots rejected an offer from the company for work rules including seven day weeks, 13 hour days without breaks, and an effective pay cut. The pilots are in the process of withdrawing from the Australian Federation of Pilots as their representation and setting up their own internal union called VIPA: Virgin Independent Pilots Association.

Remember what happened when the Eastern Pilots tried to form their own Group, the AFAP joined hands with Eastern Management and took the matter to court. Management would only deal with the AFAP as they were the respondents to the Award.
