FOI, if you think a wage provision tied to CPI would drive a profitable airline into loss then you've no place to lecture anyone on matters financial.
Wages remaining with CPI, even in an inflationary environment serves only to assure that the wage cost to the business doesn't change at all, and that the employees are protected from an unwarranted wage cut.
The fact is, this offer you're shamelessly pushing is a pay cut from when I started with the company. It's a pay cut in the face of increased productivity from me and my peers, reduced lifestyle provisions yet enormous execute pay.
Why should I accept a pay cut? We have as a pilot group continually increased our productivity to the company. 321s, low vis, RNP now down to 0.1. Now we have a new type to learn, with yet more pax, to operate medium hall international with widebody pax loads and the company has valued these additional benefits by the pilot body as not just zero, as worthless, but as deserving of a reduction in our pay.
And you want us to excitedly vote yes to it?!
No mate.
