I know things at KA have been woeful and that is why you guys are all leaving and I take my hat off to you all. You have big balls and this is the ONLY reason you are getting somewhere.
What I don't like about you and your ilk is that the only time you will get a pair of balls is if you can level it at another pilot group.
At CX I have been a member of the AOA for 14+ years through thick and thin, I supported the 49ers financially as long as I could and more. I will continue to encourage my fellow Pilot's to join OUR Union for the betterment of our Profession. I know our Union is weak in a lot of areas and that's because of the slack people that wont join thinning our numbers to a joke level. This I have to accept as a reality.
But don't tell me I don't have any balls buddy, if we had a strong solid Union then I'll be among the first to do what the majority vote for, no doubt about that.
This is not the first Airline Union I've been a part of, I was in the Oz 89 dispute and lost my job, and I didn't run back and scab. So don't tell me I have no balls.
As much as I respect your postion why should I be happy to allow someone from an Airline Cathay/Swire bought to attain a seniority number ahead of me? What planet do you think I come from? How could I react any other way to a loss of bidding and staff travel rights?
So if we didn't buy you then what happened exactly? do enlighten me.

And It's not like I don't want you guys to join our list, I hope you do. But why should I lose out? Even if it is only 100 or so numbers, it's still a lot.
Seems to me KA Pilot's have a LOT more to gain than CX Pilot's
