The AOA have suspended their industrial action in a show of good faith towards the Cx management, and the two sides have had talks about having talks. The AOA say that while the reinstatement of the 49 sacked pilots will be a point for discussion, it is not a precondition.
However, the management want the AOA to drop the recruitment ban which is still in place, and, from what I last read, this could prove to be the next stumbling block.
The best sources of information are the HKAOA website and the South China Morning Post website. Sorry I am not able to create any links to the sites.
Cheers
