Just pay your dues.......peanuts now....and you can vote, SIMPLE. Stop friggin moaning......

Not moaning Jizz...hahahahahaha! Hard to take someone named Jizz seriously!
Let me ask you this...where else do you have a representing body negotiating changes to contracts for more people not members of the association? Or where else is there is no legal requirement to belong to an organisation which has exclusive rights to speak for you without your consent?
I'm all for a Union and all for CX making it mandatory to belong to the AOA but it's not like that is it?
The union is weak, I wish it wasn’t.
You can jump and scream at people to join and support the cause, but it won’t happen.
CX needs to make pilots join the AOA OR ask each individual to vote on contract changes.
