Cathay's Motto -"Never let a good crisis go to waste!"
And they done just that again by enforcing a Permanent subscale contract, not offering but forcing! The new cos18 rev1 contract; SO earns less than ISM. Think about that for a minute, a pilot earning less than flight attendant in one of the biggest airlines in the world, in the most expensive city in the world!
Our only leverage in this matter is Unity. They are bluffing with the "sign or be fired" tactic. Scaremongering threats which they have done for years. The last time did this, was back with the 49ers, even then they lost in court and had to $Millions in compensation for loss in earning and defamation.
