The AOA must make it explicitly clear to the company and the members that no agreement will be presented to the membership for consideration which would cost any pilot $, housing, COS to implement.
The company received legal advice that they couldn't change housing without agreement. Even though the company calls housing a 'policy', it has been in place for so long that in effect it is a COS.
The company will now be waiting for enough C Scalers to vote for a deal which would see an improvement to HKPA at the expense of the B Scale housing package. The company is waiting for 50 + 1. It must be made clear that this will not be allowed to work.
The company will have to increase HKPA anyway as the turnover of SOs and FOs is costing them too much. Recruitment is at a critical point. We have staff quitting for been told to meet impossible targets and those recruits who do show up have been failing the SIM check (so the SIM check has been made easier).
