Whilst I understand the hoi polloi voting down the housing scheme changes, even though I think they will still happen. I don't understand how people that ostensibly support the AOA themselves have driven another nail into the coffin. Why should the company bother to negotiate with an organisation that represents a minority of aircrew and an organisation that cannot even influence its own? The ball is firmly in the bean counters corner now and will come back at us with a lot of gusto. Did I hear a rumour that another pilots union is quietly gaining momentum?
