Why don't we all write to CX FIN and see what they say.?? I will right now.

Arfur, if you had read the AOA forum you would have seen that a few guys did write to the company as you have just done. They were all given the same " Please discuss this with FOP" as a response.

Crwkunt roll
 

There might be a very good reason Arfur has not read the AOA updates.

Let him write to the FIN Department, let him research the law, let him part with his own cash to get a legal opinion.

But then again, why should he, he has 1700 "mates" who will do it for him. No doubt he will be there at the end with his hand out.

PS. Arfur, if you your are in the union, read your updates and focus on completing your spreadsheets. FIN department know exactly what they are doing and it involves f:mad:King you over.

Contrarian view........
It is not unreasonable for the HKAOA to withhold all info re SHP claims from non members, and I am sure the majority HKAOA members probably endorse this policy.

However a few thoughts......
How good would it be to see 3000 HKAOA claim forms in the fleet offices (and the labour department) rather than just 1700?
What message will this send to Management - a unified pilot body?

Why not (devil's advocate) release all the information and spreadsheets to non members? Let's for once get it right......and act as one unified body.

Spin off for the HKAOA......... I would imagine they will have a massive increase in membership, which is what has been needed for many years.

I think you have a very good point, Firefly. Why not use this opportunity to show to the " outsiders" that we are all really on the same "team" ( I love that company description) and can do much better together.

Does that include the "cast-out's" like the AOAC members.

Aren't UK based guys cast-outs as well? What about on-shored Aussies?

Oz and Uk already in. Why not the Canucks? The more the merrier. Ask ourselves one simple question. Would the company like more or less to file together?

Firefly,
I disagree. There must be consequences for non members. If they want the info? They can join up. I am tired of leaches riding on the coat tails of those who have stepped up and paid their dues.

Anyone can apply to join the AOA. Once in, they have the spreadsheet for their use. Whats the problem with that?:ugh:

If you want to use the spreadsheets created by AOA members, you should join the AOA.
