If only our AOA chairman and GC weren’t so busy obstructing and suing their members then maybe they might devote that litigious fighting spirit to pursuing this?
Good point.
Might be a consolation prize since the lions' share of the pilots are in HKG, but in the case of 'onshored' contracts at the bases, these are collectively negotiated contracts and cannot be changed without ratification. As such new conditions cannot be imposed and any terms within it are subject to adjudication in the home country.
