So then i'm guessing (if logic prevails that is......) once the first 49 have been taken on anyone applying or put online afterwards should have no qualms with those in the union?????

Well, the numbers quoted on various threads on this forum would suggest about one third are currently not members of the HKAOA.
I'm not getting involved but you will hear a variety of answers too!

With 1700 pilots and about 1000 paid up members of the AOA, ND and friends now 'lead' 58% of CX pilots.
Every month more join CX (who aren't allowed to join the AOA - DUMB) and more retire or resign from CX and more quit from the AOA. Not long now before AOA membership falls below 50%...when will the 'AOA 100%' sticker be changed...perhaps 'AOA 40% and Falling'

Hustler, there is nothing defensive about pilotabroad's post. Surely he is making a valid and creative point. I don't mean the sticker, that was just a throw away line. But when the AOA membership falls below 50%, not too long now, what then? Maybe it'll be time for a new union, one that will work with the company instead of fighting it just for the sake of fighting. That's what got the 49+ers into their predicament and that strategy will not save them. Any new union won't be recognised by IFALPA and other international bodies I hear you say, well so what I say other than pontificating, doing some brotherly back patting and thereby exacerbating the dispute here, I don't see much else and nothing constructive. The septics are good at solving industrial disputes aren't they - I don't think.
