This is actually becoming quite farsical. But a true Greek tragedy for the 49ers. The AOA will unfortunately never publicly admit that it got this whole thing completely wrong. Who should be compensating the 49ers? The AOA of course, not just providing them with 'living expenses'. But, fully paying them out. After all it was the inept decisions by the AOA that led to the martyrdom of the 49ers in the first place. Years of ineffective and annoying petty industrial action, a refusal to assist the company when asked for help during the grounding of the Airbii, a campaign of slander against the company in the media, work to rule, cowardly sickouts, maximum safety bull!!!! and then the increased industrial action that led to the company terminating our colleagues (not necessarily in chronological order). The 49ers could be back at work by now, or most of them, once again union ineptitude stopped that. It will take largesse of the grandest order from the new DFO to get any 49ers back at all now. And the ban, wow. A litany of profligate incompetence. Lets have them for another term.
