“...while the flight deck represents

precision, certainty, and clarity;

the course reveals how laden the

bargaining table is with uncertainty,

ambiguity, and shades of grey.”

NEXT STOP... HONG KONG
The Instructor team which comprises Captain Brian Shury, Ana McAhron-Schulz
(Director, Economic and Financial Analysis Department, ALPA-I), Andrew
Shostack, (Assistant Director, Representation Department, ALPA-I) and myself,
David Stephens, (Senior Industrial Officer, AFAP), are extremely encouraged by
the high level of participation and engagement.

The team intends to take the same approach used in Frankfurt into future
seminars. Participants gain the most by drawing on their own experiences and
learning from the experience of the instructors and their co-participants during
robust and lively exchanges of ideas and classroom-style debate.

The post seminar feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Participants reported
having learnt a great deal during the packed and comprehensive three-day
program. It comes as no surprise that most participants would like to see the
seminar extend beyond the current three days and include more simulation/
role play sessions.

The Instructors are considering these suggestions and how best they can be
accommodated in the seminar program. Certainly, extending day three into
late afternoon/early evening is one option, as well as reviewing ideas for further
simulation/role play sessions.

IFALPA generally runs two Negotiations Seminars each year for Pilot
Representatives with the location depending on demand. The next seminar is
scheduled for Hong Kong, 28-30 March 2020.
