There is nothing personnal and it's not pilots against pilots.
With one sided contracts removing seniority and managers having no respect for employees the only thing protecting a career these day is the law .
Not for us to debate fairness of the law or what differentiate a migrant worker with a Work Visa (which I was the first 7 years in Hong Kong) to a Permanent Resident.
Let's say Swire decides that HKE will do longhaul
transfers 20 350s to Express and sacks 200 pilots at CX.while in the same time HKE recruits to operate these 350s
As a CX redundant
PR pilots, what would you do? The only angle you can use to challenge the redundancy is your priority for employment to Visa Workers.
2nd exemple, comes June 2021, Borders still closed anther 20% of pilots to be let go at CX on a contract that doesn't recognise seniority.
Don't you think that
PR made redundant will challenge their redundancy if CX keeps Visa workers and why would it not be fair as they joined earlier the airline.
