There is another option ....... just hold the line!!
They are past masters at the delay, prevaricate, misdirect and deceive method of pirate bargaining 101.
They want us to crumble.
But they need us to fly.
This is not a time for concessions, but instead it really is a time for significant modern improvements to the package. Let's not live in with the past. Flying 72hrs and 5-4-3 are long gone, and perhaps outdated. We do need to move with the times.
We are having to be accepting of the un-lubed JCP.
But Swires are now having to deal with an increasingly unwilling workforce who have been pushed too far. The consolidation of anti-concession feeling has now worked against them.
We want the airline to succeed. But in a mutually beneficial way.
Time for Swires to reach into those deep pockets, watch out for the plague of moths as the wallet is opened, they'll hate us for it, but $$$$ is now the only way.
Hold the line! And that means all you guys on the GC too!!
