Yes BH, there are always pilots around who have no integrity, self-worth or character. Always been the case. CX tried it with those types during the ASL debacle of the mid-90's....and they are still trying to clean up the mess they made. It is also worth noting that a strike would never happen, because as we got near to the date, the HK Govt would put intolerable pressure on CX management to settle with the pilots and avoid a shutdown. It's just a shame that we haven't taken them on to that level...yet. As for you TB comment....selfish and immoral describes the few cretins who have broken the ban and undermined the efforts of their 3000+ colleagues who have endured and sacrificed during our CC and TB. They are the ones who deserve contempt (and which they will receive every day of their miserable CX careers).
