Its simple why they are waiting:
By 26th August they will know exactly how many trainers are willing to come on board both on and off HK Base. They will then know the shortfall of what they need.
They have been working on ways to reduce training demand by way of:
CAD dispensation on RT/PC and Line checks etc. which = trainers needed/gained
Outsourcing training to QF, Dragon and others = effective trainers gained
Contractual trainers/checkers = effective trainers gained.
Delays to A50 programme etc and expedition of moving retiring aircraft aircraft will be known= effective crew gain/ training hours reduced etc.
The new GC and president of the AOA will be known on 1st Sept.
Company goes back to the table offers the same deal again with some more wishy washy clarification on reserve and clause 7 with a further promise to backpay HKPA as well as honor the increase.
HKPA is the prime focus because that is 52% of the membership. The fight for real change will be traded off for a bribe.....
CC and TB will be over because this time 51 % will vote Yes.
There will be no wide ranging improvement guys are wanting. No pay back for the years of erosion of COS.
It has instead been a big fat merry go round of crap for nothing!
Sorry.... The only way to solve any of the REAL outstanding issues is to slog each and every one out in court on an individual basis. This crowd does not negotiate anything fair. Fairness is achieved in court and even that is stacked in the imperialists favor.
The Goose of the AOA is cooked regardless who gets voted in or out!
