The AOA also pledged to "support the application " of pilots who turned down a job with Cathay during the ban. After realising the ban was futile and lifting it, what did this pledge entail? NADA!!
I'm sure if the AOA had added a clause to this agreement that any such pilots be re-considered along with the 49ers, the company would have agreed. But did they?
It was a case of "Help us in our struggle, 'cause we don't have the b@lls to do it ourselves, after which time we SWEAR we'll look after ourselves and do nothing for you"!!!
