CX Poll
All CX crews will be invited to take part in a poll either at the end of this year, when industrial action resumes, or more likely the beginning of next, when Nick Rhodes replaces Ken Barley. The poll will take the form of a contract distributed by CX management to all the pilots. The contract will offer the abolition of B-scales for Captains and retirement at 60. The AOA will oppose any attempt by the management to communicate directly with their employees and will again ask that these contracts be sent to the Union. 80% of the pilots will accept the company offer. Those who do not will be deemed to have resigned. The pilots will thereby have demonstrated, unequivocally, that the AOA does not represent the majority view. The majority of pilots would welcome this opportunity to break the impasse. Do it now, Captain Barley and lets move on.
