There are a few senior guys busting to let off steam, but the company know that most the B scalers are happy to work out their contracts, take the housing benefits, and retire when it suits them. The company also know that the C scales have no unity, and are too busy chasing Chinese skirt at the rear galley, to have any energy left to be bothered about industrial issues. In fact, by joining KA on a 20K housing allowance, would already demonstrate their willingness to take shine jet syndrome over pay and benefits. If there is indeed any shiny jets @ Ka ?
Not true, most C scale FO's just want to keep their heads down and focus on getting through their PCA and command course - it's a captains airline and FO's don't get much say in matters. C scale captains are still relatively few in number so don't have much of a voice either. There is growing discontent with the lack of SA increase over the years despite enormous rental increases in HK - most C scale FO's I fly with are paying 30K+ a month rent.
