Like NW I also enourage everyone to get informed about each candidate. Currently I am voting for 1,2,4,9,12,13,16,20 more to come later as I learn more. Certain NO's are 8, 10 and 11.

At the very least No 10 cannot be voted in, this we must unite on!!! I am not having a go at the guy personally but the fact that he is a DEC, in the company 5 minutes and wants to join the GC so as to push through R.A 65 whilst remaining chummy with management!!
Not what we need at the moment!!!

10 was kicked off a GC for breach of confidence and he got about 18 votes while running for president. I am voting for everyone except 8 10 and likely not for 14 as I am not sure he will stay the course, he has left the union completely and then came back, been on the GC, then left midterm and now wants to come back again. I am not sure about him but he makes this site more interesting good or bad. NC/Ross I don't know you, I am not in the CPU and I am none of those other people on here you suggest. Do I feel for the 49's? Yes, obvioulsy more than you do.

Candidate 10 must not be elcted
PH looks like a clown if you compare his nomination "speech" to the rest of the candidates. I wonder if his resigning and then coming back on crappy terms as a DEC is what he means by his "more life experience."
He is also the only candidate that feels it necessary to include his title - Captain - in his sign off. That alone tells me more than I need to know. I wonder if he feels it necessary to wear his 4-bars when he goes out to dinner!
By the way shouldn't that sign off read DIRECT ENTRY Captain.

Because he's an A scale captain. For the same reason the AOA is spending gazillions to get A scale age 65 through and not a cent on anything else, in the heirachy of the AOA (lots of A's and no B's in that title) their vote is worth a dozen B scale.

ACMS
ACMS the problem is the majority B scale group are unwilling to fight for better. The Company/AOA has far more B scale than A scale members. Let's remember it was a B scale President who gave away rostering before discussing pay and it was a B scale President that recommended C scales for new hires and them did nothing when the Company canceled the freighter crewing deal. ACMS there is no chance of improvements while our B scale majority are damaging and giving away the conditions we already have.

Wasn't it the B scale that said they would do our jobs for less money?

Do not vote for 6, 8, 10, 11, 14 if you want the AOA to move forward. Priority order for the No votes 10, 8, 11, 14 & 6. I hope the FO's/SO's who have stepped up are willing to do the hard work, it is nonetheless encouraging to see so many of you standing.
To the junior guys when you get elected do not be affraid to let the rest of the GC or the company know what you think and fight for your rights, you are the group who have the most to loose in the coming years.
Guys like 4, 9, 12, 16 & 20 will work for ALL the members. I do not know 9, but have heard good things about him. I also think 1, 2, 5, 19 & 22 might fit in with the other good guys, but I am not sure. I will read their profiles & those who I do not know at all & make a decision while also asking around.
Best of luck to all of you! This will be an important vote for the future of the AOA.
