The AOA is only as strong as the backbone of the members ,I have seen that weakness displayed time after time.
Until all of you in the AOA are prepared to take an uncomfortable stance and I mean truly committed to do what ever it takes you will never achieve anything .
Why do you think the company listens when the girls threaten, because they know that they will probably do what they are threatening to do .
With us it's all puff and wind and the company knows it ,
BUT if everyone was prepared to walk and the company knew it : trust me things would get sorted very quickly because it would be too expensive to fire everyone and retrain new pilots .
Ed Rod... Always said that the company would continue to push until the pilots pushed back
