Shock Horror - we told you so!

Having started another thread I am adding to the Morass however, nearly 60 threads started on the "offer" with lots of bleating and "we will beat them, we just have to stand together". Cannot even manage it with the threads so what chance of achieving "unity".

What a lot of you don't seem to understand, was that the AOA's position was the strongest at the time of the 49ers and look what happened. Dream on boys you will get nothing else especially in this "financial climate". No sympathy either when other people are loosing their livelihoods.

Finally for all those asking for an AOA vote, being kind 50% of the pilots are in the AOA so it is not representative of the whole pilot body and more importantly we are on INDIVIDUAL contracts!!:ugh:

so tell me this...................why have we voted in the past? We voted on serious issues effecting our career and said NO. They then went back in a improved the offer.

NO damn different now is it buddy?

being on individual contracts means nothing, we still have the AOA representing us as a GROUP. Even if that group only represents 65% of the total Pilot body today. 50% was enough to get the housing deal fixed up wasn't it.

Not that it changes things too much but I am told by a committee member we are over 70% of pilot body now.
