Still yet to see any logical posts giving sound reasons for not agreeing to fund the appeal. I understand the costs involved have been revised down to 15K GBP (confirmation required). The supporters of the motion need to show some honesty and admit it is their own career progression (or BPP retention collecting Capts wages for FO duties) and not the money the AOA is spending that is the core issue at stake. The supporters of the motion are in effect saying they support the companies blatant age discrimination practices and additionally have no confidence in the GC to run the finances of the AOA.
Are we going to call for a vote when the AOA need to buy office furniture or update the computers. Do we need a vote to send our reps on courses or to conferences on safety...........of course not that is a waste of time and effort just like this poorly thought out petition circulating at present.
