Fenwick I have been a member of the AOA since I joined and have stuck through thick and thin. I am just stating the facts. As was rightly pointed out the membership was strong when they sacked the 49ers ,and as most pilots do we ran for the hills, bar a few and looked after number one!
Things like when the rostering got voted down, LETS HAVE ANOTHER VOTE ITS NOT THE MAJORITY! start happening you must start looking at the overall committee and their priorities? They set democracy back to the stone age after that and have done nothing since to change my mind. Take the latest pay issues! WTF are they doing about that? Nothing! Head back in the sand and hope it blows over.
I keep justifying why i remain a member and it is as you stated maybe if it was more a majority it might make a difference. That is getting harder to justify and the option of another 1 and a hlf % pay rise to myself is looking better.
