Hypocrisy?

Was the original court case sanctioned (but not funded) by the AOA - I don't remember seeing mention made of it?
When will the appeal be heard? I hope the GC has sufficient time to put their "fair deal for all" proposal to members and the company. This will at least get the negotiation underway, and we then have the option to use the legal appeal as a lever to get what we all want.
I find it a bit rich for you to try and claim the moral high-ground over this unilateral legal approach when it appears this was NOT part of the AOA's ongoing attempt at negotiating a fair deal on RA65 for all. This was a legal challenge by an individual that lost (most likely wrongly). Now the AOA has agreed to fund the appeal, the legal case is now being championed by some as the AOA's collective solution to RA65. It wasn't and it's not - the UK legal appeal is only a small part of trying to sort out the mess that is differing retirement ages over multiple contracts and jurisdictions.
