This is now a power struggle that the AOA cannot win. The shareholders have backed the management, who will see it through to the bitter end. No amount of posturing will get the 52 back, neither will it prevent more sackings. However bad the CX contract is, it is better than no contract at all. It may not be as good as the pre-93 contract, but it is still better than almost all the European contracts, including Lufthansa's new one, and it is better than the Qantas contract. United and Delta may well be the targets, but falling short of what they have been given does not give one a bad deal.
Unpalatable though it may sound to those who relish warfare between employees and management, there would be no shortage of takers if direct entry commands were to be offered. Better to live to fight another day than to lose all in one unwinnable battle.

A very concise and well thought out post. Maybe it will change a few of the guys ideas, but suspect that severe pressure is being applied to many who would just like to settle and get on with flying. Wonder if the ring leaders in the HKAOA have an agenda, similar to Jimmy Hoffa in the Teamsters union so many years ago?

IB57, you and 411A are so positive all the time, you inspire me. Always a good word about your fellow aviators (if you are pilots at all) and their efforts to improve their lot. Your words of inspiration make me want to achieve so much more in my life, I talk about you two constantly on my flight deck and always let my junior crew members in on my role models. Keep it up. Don't falter in your task of motivating everyone in this business...You could be the next Bob Geldorf, or who knows, maybe a KBE, or an OBE? Perhaps one day your names will appear in the Smithsonian hall of fame?
