AAOA is a victim of their own poor leadership and likely some counter productive contributions from the HKAOA.
So much bs on this thread, from those on the base who know unless you’re a member you’ll never be privy to the actual minutes of the meetings and deals between the AAOA and the company. Strangely the Aussies seem to alternate between the “yeah we ****** over HKAOA and we don’t care, it’s all about us” but then it’s “we’re all in this together, us unions, the fight is with the company”
Every 5 minutes there’s another threat of a court case if they don’t get what they want. Currently W patterns on the Airbus have been chopped back because the Aussie base demands long layover long hauls and in the past those patterns made up the second half of W patterns. So Aussie commuters who would love a base can’t actually commute either due to those on the base.
From a rough count that’s the 5th time in 6years the Oz base has gone after something solely at the expense of HKAOA and Hong Kong based pilots. That’s their choice, but can we maybe stop pretending it isn’t happening?
