Hydro, NC
Hydrolix is a freerider
I long ago came to the conclusion that 100% membership in any organisation is unrealistic - for the simple reason that a minority of employees only ever consider their own perspective.
Luckily at KA people like Hydrolix are few and far between. It would be nice to think most people joined the DPA to provide 'group cover' to their peers, rather than looking for individual benefit, and I think most people appreciate the cameraderie and feeling that each of us is looking out for the other.
By comparison, wage rises and renegotiated contracts are small beer. Anyone who thinks you're better off on your own is a poor student of history - industrial and otherwise, and probably shouldn't be in a multi-crew cockpit.
Good luck to the new AOA team - you're sending the right message.
