The power is not in the local industrial law. If your not prepared to
place your career/future on the line with collective industrial
action its irrelevant where your based.
The AOA will never succeed in improving conditions whilst the
bulk of members won't stand together.
Don't bank on improving anything with onshoring, the problem
is the self serving types who take expat jobs, who will never stick
together.
I gave up on the AOA when I was in the minority doing contract
compliance years ago, those creating the greatest noise did the
least. The law will not grow balls for you. Pardon lady pilots!
