What would the dishonest agenda.be?
pilots loose their jobs for underperforming on sim checks, line training or line checks, redundancy for financial reasons is a different story.
If you claim that the airline can pick who they want then you might get lucky or not, you'll see on the next round.
However I am pretty sure that no more locals will be going this time, publicity is not good.
I don't think there is any tactics being used and I reckon that LEGCO has way more important matters at hands these days than 400
PR redundant pilots and couple thousand of local CC who lost their jobs.
Just a fact, HKE and CX were still hiring 6 months ago when it was already obvious that something was wrong.
I have nothing against pilots who joined, they didn't steal my job but swire moved my job to a subsidiary company using these pilots and that's the way it is.
To me this is really unfair but it's the way it is and whatever we're writing here won't change a thing.
