Snake Hips,
You infer the AOA are not "squeaky clean". Since ND took over what has the AOA done to damage your confidence?
You say to the AOA, "call off the limited industrial action and get to the negotiating table". Are you calling for the AOA to cease their action permanently, or just for a pre-defined period?
There are two parties to the dispute, why do you not call on the company to come back to table with the flying stats the AOA has requested? ( for those not aware, this is the only precondition the AOA have to further negotiations, for without such stats the AOA believes it cannot evaluate the overtime scheme the company is promoting)
Look forward to your response.
