You'd be better off negotiating individually with management, about as successful I reckon.
So you do that do you? Funny the contract you signed was good enough for you to join and who negoiated that for you again? The housing allowance is as high as its ever been and who got that for you? FTL's could be a darn site worse were it not for the AOA. Wake up. Having low membership gives the company the best of both worlds as if the vote goes against them their excuse is "well that isn't representative of the majority of the aircrew". That is how they can and do justify their actions.
I am financially better off because I don't have to pay subs.
You and your family are also financially better off THANKS to the AOA.
Just turning up to work everytime you are in fact benefiting from the things the AOA has negotiated yet you try to but fail to justify not contributing.
Saying you would rather negotiate your own contract is a nothing statement as you know that is and never will be possible.
