You are also very naieve. Captains and C&T'ers are NOT the leaders of the pilot group. In theory the President of the HKAOA is and in the past C&T'ers followed the guidance given by the AOA. There is no guidance these days so the C&T'ers do their own thing. In 2005, 98% of the C&T'ers were members of the AOA. Today, it is less than 10%.
I can tell from your posts that you haven't been in this industry very long and certainly not in Hong Kong. Open your eyes.
I have been in this industry for 29 years. If your waiting for the AOA to give you directions, you will be very disappointed. Each individual has to decide for themselves.
As far as UA is concerned, stick to the effectiveness of their job action. It was a success and done so without any guidance from ALPA.
If you all are going to just sit back and expect the other guy to do the heavy lifting for you. Than the CX pilots will soon find that they are the lowest paid WB pilots in the world. That is based on cost of living etc.
