You all need to dream on. Most people have lost hope that any sort of meaningful changes will take place in these or any future negotiations. As such, pilots are leaving. That is what they think of the power of the "association." That it has none in fact. That is what they think of the possibility of the management to change. That it has no possibility to change. That is what they think of the future of this airline.
These would in fact all be nice additions, but in reality they only have their place in aviation in countries outside of the Asian market. Canada, US, Europe, Australia, yes, but here in HKG they will never happen, ever, and why Cathay will never again base pilots in any of these countries. Which again is why pilots are leaving CX, and the pace is only going to accelerate. As long as the money continues to roll into the coffers of the AOA unabated, whilst no inflationary adjustment is given, no pay increase is given, nothing is done but a few mild words about "solidarity", no mass resignations from the AOA, and the company is able to go a few more years without paying any inflationary adjustment, or a pay increase, why on earth would either of them want a fight?
