Perhaps if the HKAOA were to stop blackmailing the AOAUSA then they could get on with what they need to do. But we all know how the HKAOA is with franchised unions.

HKAOA has produced a limpdick offspring: USAOA”

Perhaps if the HKAOA were to stop blackmailing the AOAUSA then they could get on with what they need to do. But we all know how the HKAOA is with franchised unions

You guys don’t even have the guts to be accountable for your own decisions; it must be the HKAOA’s fault that you are spineless. It couldn’t possibly be your own short-comings (fnar fnar).

Don’t worry, HKAOA and AOAE will continue the RP fight, you Americans scurry off and sign a new contract agreeing “Rostering will be in accordance with Company Policy”.

Here’s a suggestion; those who don’t want to accept the new contract, sign it and send it your lawyers. If a predetermined and significant number send the contracts to him, he sends “Dear Leader” a letter asking if she wants y’all to fly her aircraft from 1 Jan 2016?

If most are weakdicks, the lawyer sends the letters to the “Dear Leader” and she opens an expensive bottle of champers on New Years.

I guess it's easier to blame the HKAOA than take control of the your own careers.

PS CPdude,- you would have a lot more credibility if you actually knew the name of the US “franchise”.

PSS Guy Burgess, Donald Maclean, Anthony Blunt, Kim Philby and PH have one thing in common.

LG,

They will continue to be the AOAUSA in my mind until they sever the purse strings and conditions placed on them by the control freaks in HKG.

and if only you knew!

cpdude, it's not blackmail. It's extortion. Similar, but different.

There are those in the "AOAUSA" who have fallen for the HKAOA's "you can't do it without us and without paying us 80% of your dues for us to do it for you" BS.

To think that HK-based AOA members will risk ANYthing to help their so-called brothers and sisters in the US is naive when the "AOAUSA" is already throwing a group of its OWN members under the bus.

CX was, is and always will be an every-man-for-himself airline. That was proven with the 49ers. Our game of union playing is no different from the security theatre we see at the airports. It appears benevolent on the surface but is rotten at the core.

CR,

No need, every pilot in CX with over 5 years seniority is well aware of the issues within the HKAOA. It truly is the worst kept secret!

No, CurtainRod, HKAOA has threatened USAOA with "excommunication" if USAOA doesn't agree to pay HKAOA an exorbitant amount for the services it could get elsewhere for a third to a quarter the cost.

Is this thread about recent management appointments or AOA politics?

I'm not the thread police but when the discussion goes too far off the original topic people not only lose track but lose interest too. You're good at starting threads so why not start one about the internecine battle between the various AOA franchises. As Max Reheat said on an another thread, is it any wonder we are where we are today when our internal division is aired so publicly on an almost daily basis?

Dipsticks are useful, they provide concrete information.

It is the bottom of the barrel. The 'new' DCPT, a junior FO joined in 2008, took a LHR base in 2013 then after getting the position, they kindly cancelled his base and on top of all of this has basically zero experience prior to CX.....BUT when I have a technical problem on the ground I'll be put through to this guy to help me sort it out...NO THANKS.....

It really is a race to the bottom

Yet most keep solving the company's problems for them, by resolving technical issues that ENG missed, then coordinating and fixing FTL issues that FOP missed, then voluntarily breaking legal maximum duty times by solely accepting responsibility for commander's discretion, all while completing countless duties for free and with no record or credit contrary to FTL/ANO, while continuing to suck up for training and/or management positions...among 50 other things going on that undermine our efforts.
This statement should be at the first page of the AOA's website as well as Fragrant Harbour's; once again, Curtain rod has called it the way the situation TRULY is.

Wow, you regular posters never cease to amaze me. I have known PH for many years, he is very pleasant and well suited for the job. I also flew with the aforementioned F/O recently and after a lengthy discussion discovered that he is very, very tech savvy. So he is ideally suited for the job as tech pilot. Now I am acutely aware there ARE people in this company that our out to undermine the pilot group, but if you seriously think that these two people are a problem (when most in the fleet office do their best to protect us). Then your blind rage is clouding your ability to evaluate the situation properly. TGM
