Cathay Pacific Airways has parachuted one of its star performers – a man barely halfway through leading its company restructure – into a new role tackling an issue central to the loss-making airline’s return to profitability: disgruntled pilots.

Strategic transformation head Alex McGowan is the new general manager for aircrew, sources said. McGowan had lately been in charge of turning around Hong Kong’s flagship carrier, including overseeing 600 job cuts earlier last year.

His main task will be to give the airline’s talks with pilots another shot. They stalled last November over disagreements on pay, benefits and changes to flying schedules.
To shave HK$4 billion (US$510 million) from its books by next year, Cathay Pacific has been pushing for savings on aircrew costs of up to HK$1 billion.
I am not sure that everybody is on the same page here?

It was announced in the SCMP (18 July 2018) that Alex McGowan was parachuted into CX to screw the pilots out of a further HK$1 billion.

A YES vote is just the start and WILL lead to a loss of pilots pay and allowancws to the tune of HK$1 billion.

The Management has ANNOUNCED their intentions and end-game.

How much plainer can the case be for a NO vote
