50+ captains went to the AOA office that afternoon demanding we bring the airline to a standstill that day. We were over ruled by the few GC members who were there and told the guys would be re-instated within 48 hours. 5 years and 3 deaths later !
More than 30 of us resigned within the 48 hours and throughout donated to the cause. Many of the 49ers were my good friends and the total lack of AOA action on that day finished off any faith I had in that body to do anything right for the members. 16 years later I believe I have been proved right. A case in point was the Paris Base closure where initially the union was complicit in the dirty deeds of the company. Then exposed in correspondence they changed their minds and supported every pilot on the base only to retract that offer of support, restricting it to members only. Disgraceful and dishonest.
And for the record
I don't work G days
I don't do training anymore
I don't do discretion
I am not management
I am leaving in March
