The numbers don't support the intent of sad old Thrusts comments. There certainly is the issue of the 49ers to resolve, although CX management probably think it is just about settled already. If Thrust were to follow through on his childish threats, well he would be identified easily and early for the non-professional that that would make him. The result for him is obvious. The majority of CX aircrew are not unhappy (do some number crunching before you slag off at this). Sure there are issues to be resolved and they will be in due course. The new joiners need not fear anything. As I have stated before, in my opinion it is only a matter of time before they are welcomed into the fold of the AOA or else the AOA fails. The million dollar question is how do we get back to the negotiating table? The company have stated that they will not negotiate with the current leadership or while union action continues. I don't agree with that position but it's their bat and ball. It was loyal of the AOA, and probably myopic, to re-elect ND and co. But the facts show that AOA numbers are falling steadily and the costs for the AOA must be remaining high. They must surely have most to gain by making whatever concessions (more) are necessary to get back to discussion. I don't mean toss away the 49ers but surely there is absolutely no hope for them in light of the current situation.
