We ARE in the final innings of one of the greatest corporate games of bluff of all time. When the wheels are well and truly coming off the CX wagon, our arrogant, incompetent and foolhardy management are trying one last desperate throw of the dice to get us to sign away forever any value that the job of "pilot" has in this part of the world. Just imagine for one minute the shock and panic if we once again throw a smelly, unworthy and contemptuous offer back in their faces. We threw the last one back as it was inadequate. Why on earth would be debase ourselves (and our profession) by now (almost three years later!) agreeing to something even WORSE. We would then deserve the derision, misery and contempt that will forever define our careers.
Gents/ladies, this is THE very time that we need to stand firm and once and for all show the Swires that they have insulted us a step too far. No doubt an "offer" is coming. It WILL be worse than the last one. Hit it straight back into their teeth. Another rejection (and a further corresponding increase in resignations) will send the message that they either treat their employees with respect and value, or they can see their airline collapse around them. For us the choice is simple: a worthy career at CX, or the realisation that such a career truly lies elsewhere.
Vote NO.
