I doubt if it actually represents 50% and certainly amongst commanders far less than this.
HKPU 2018 the way forward.
There’s irony for you. Only a couple of years ago 48% of the pilot membership (call it 1200 members) voted to take the pay raise on offer. 1 of the 1200 chose to go on the AOA forum after the vote to discuss further. That member was abused and vilified by the hardliners and eventually quit the union. The lone voice of 1200 paying members. Not a single person who voted for the pay raise has dared to have their say on the AOA forum since.
So the 200 or so hardliners now want to break away because they think the AOA doesn’t represent them. I’m guessing plenty of the silent majority who voted against the pay raise would now happily take it.
The sooner a vote comes the better.
