From: "HARD" TO TELL.....
The age 65 vote is coming soon,and 1 of 2 things will happen:

1) The age 65 vote passes and the AOA loses 50% of members who are NOT happy with this,especially FO's who's command WILL be pushed back by a few years;

2) The age 65 vote does not pass and the AOA loses 50% of it's members,mainly captains who wanted to work until they drop dead..

Either way..the AOA is screwed..EXACTLY what CX wants!!A weak membership not even representing 25% of the pilot body..the rest of what will happen speaks for itself..

You have NO idea as to what a union is..I'll tell you: It's a body who represents it's members and who has negotiating and bargaining powers.It's a body who DEMANDS certain conditions and pay-rises..and who embarks on a massive strike UNTIL their demands are met...that sir..is a union...

The AOA doesn't even come close to this definition,because it's run by a bunch of girl scouts,voted for by YOU!!!

Let the circus continue...!!!!
