100% MEMBERSHIP consisting of WHOM?

Where are the lawyers suing the company for its violations of our contracts? NOWHERE!

What did the 90% membership do after the 49ers? NOTHING!

What did the senior First Officer members of the AOA do when upgrades to Captain were offered to fill the slots vacated by the fired 49ers? TOOK THE UPGRADES!

100% membership in the AOA will NOT cause the company to fear us or force them to provide us better CoS because the company knows that only a very small percentage of the AOA members would ever participate in any kind of legal activity (striking, working to rule, etc.) and that, other than the lawyers which the AOA either doesn't have, or doesn't use, is the ONLY way that a "union" can influence how its members are treated by the company.

It will NEVER happen, so this whole discussion about membership numbers and new leadership is moot...
