AFAP Update - Training Bond Dispute & Survey Reminder
RE CAE Flight Instructors: AFAP Member Update
The AFAP CAE Pilot Survey – Flight Instructor Employment Conditions has been completed by a large number of the pilot group. The feedback has been of great assistance to consider the application employment conditions, in comparison to the Award conditions.
Thank you to all those pilots that completed it. Pilots’ groups that work together, put details together, and data is of better assistance the more pilots that complete it.
The AFAP will continue to assess the data, and to contact pilots that provided their name and details in the survey, especially where there are some concerns about the application of Award conditions.
If you have not completed the survey please do so via this link.

FWC - Training Bonds Dispute
As discussed CAE want to discuss with the AFAP at the Fair Work Commission. The AFAP report to members that the Fair Work Commission has scheduled the dispute matter for a conciliation conference (voluntary discussion between parties with assistance of a commissioner) between CAE and the AFAP for
10.00AM Thursday 6 June 2024.
The AFAP will continue in the meantime to encourage CAE there is an immediate need in supporting the pilot group training and development, this should be as per the CASA approved training manual, and as a genuine retention strategy. The AFAP also remain wiling to work with the pilot group and CAE to find alternate pathways, such as a potential enterprise agreement.
If you require assistance or have any queries, please do not hesitate to reach out for assistance to AFAP via email to Industrial Officer, Jason Newell at
