Jizz - It is obvious to all of us that the AOA strategically chose not to address the AHK freighter issue UNTILL the pay deal was through - If they started kicking up a stink about the freighters a few months ago the pay deal would have failed. So their plan was get some cash and then pick a fight.
I think this is one of the reasons they pushed so hard for us to take the deal - there are several big fights coming and no pay deal will happen during.
