"thegypsy" - CX has not paid three months salary in leiu; they have only said they did. It has not happened. This is illegal, of course; so was the sacking itself, the recent enforced contracts, the August roster, etc. CX don't obey the rules, not even well established flight time limitations; certainly not contracts.
If this had been SIA you would have been out on your ear with nothing!!!
52 are indeed in this very position.
BTW, I object to your innuendo that this is caused by Chinese management. This is a British run outfit, with British management. I don't know how the Chinese might run the show, but they couldn't possibly do worse. Your comments are racially offensive and irrelevant to boot.
