I will also add that my own discomfort in remaining was the company's complete dismissal of the C and T letters. If we continued to train after stating that we felt categorically that the operation was becoming unsafe, then was I personally endorsing that change, and perhaps becoming legally liable? I felt that there was no option other than to resign. Ten % just wasn't worth it. Again, at this point, let the AOA leadership dictate the direction this takes. Hopefully DS and co will realise that they are in a war, and act accordingly. The individual member can always make their own choice later if need be. In the meantime, please don't attack the remaining C and T members. Our management love that, and that is all you need to know. Ultimately, if there is not a fair settlement, then every one of them SHOULD resign. Immediately. And I would add that if there is ANY degradation to pay/housing/pension, then resign immediately. AT stated in one of her first newsletters that she would 'improve the conditions for C and T members'.....so far of course 'nothing' has resulted. A degradation would be an insult too far. This is not to devalue the desperate necessity of improvements to the conditions of every other pilot in this company.
