You Non-AOA members will do/say anything to justify not being a member.
Surely the AOA would have a much better chance of negotiating a fairer deal if we had close to 100% membership? you don't have to be a rocket scientist to see that.

The reality is that 50% of our Pilot body either 1/ can't be bothered 2/ don't want to part with 1.5% of their hard earned pay or 3/ are just plain selfish .
Badairsucker: mate you ask "what has the AOA for the Pilot body recently"?
well have a look at the housing policy for a start. A damn fine win for us, negaotiated by OUR AOA.
Remember the Pilot's representitive, THE HKAOA, is only as powerful as it's members.
So I say to all those that don't want to join: "fair enough, but don't complain for one second about the crap the company shoves down your throat, if you want to change the AOA direction then first join, the get on the commitee"
I still cannot believe there are Pilot's out there that can't see past their own wallets. BIG PICTURE GUYS.
Surely we would do a lot better if we all LOOKED AFTER EACH OTHER AS A GROUP. Come on..........it's not hard to work out.
