The AOA is anti-CXF
It's very unfortunate for the freighter pilots that the AOA is an A Scale union that gives scraps to the B scale guys and actually works against the interests of the CX Freighter guys. It's also unfortunate that the CXF team cannot negotiate directly with management as we feel we do not have any representation at the moment.

cpdude,
A commonly held view, but equally many forget that Freighter guys are currently benefiting from both Integration and Freighter Integration Deferment pay; 2 major career developments gained by the AOA.
ASL meet with management later this month (don't hold your breath!) and the reps are open to views and opinions from Veta Freighter pilots as well.
What have the Romans done for us?

Legolas,
Bit harsh to discredit the AOA because of the latest F/E redundancies. Whilst making no comment whatsoever regarding the CX F/E redundancies back in 1998, these are wholly different.
First and foremost, none of the F/E's are members of the AOA. Secondly, I understand all those made redundant are over 60 and were on a set term contract and understood the implications if an oversupply of F/Es occurred.
That said, particularly difficult for those still supporting family and the unique and experienced (and always humourous!!) view that each brought to aviation and life in general will be missed.
