Corrigin,
They were paying the AOA their hard earned money, while this guy didn't pay $1 for almost 20 YEARS! Huge slap in the face for the fee paying members. He benefitted from every negotiated payrise and from anytime the members stuck their necks out with industrial action for almost 20 years. Like someone said earlier, he should be put up for the AOA presidency if he's allowed in, he's absolutely brilliant to be able to get this deal.
