KA FOP management ( such as it is ) doesn't call the shots anymore. It was the CX DFO who announced the new COS18 for the group and it is the CX DFO who will try to merge the seniority lits and it will be the CX DFO who changes the leave system for the Cathay GROUP airlines. Don't you get it. The KA and CX days are over. It's GROUP airlines now.
