There are now just under 100 guys on the training captain list and the list is growing every day. The training ban is dead, it is now causing more problems to us than to them. The reality is that even if we wanted to remove the training ban we will never be able to get rid of it. As it is linked to HKPA and RP, means we will never be able to remove it, as we will never get more than 67% of member to agree on both of these items at the same time. The captains taking up the training positions is only the start, as more people figure out that in the past 6 months the ill conceived motions by a minority of the membership had tangled up the union’s ability to achieve anything, they will start to resign. Most of my contemporaries are waiting to see what happens with the vote in September, they all say that if RF runs and gets voted in as chairman, they will quit the union. The TB is dead and the AOA all of a sudden it totally irrelevant, and we can only blame ourselves for that!
