Talk about being delusional.
Every pilot who has left since the contract cancelation has gone on strike, permanently. Half of the seniority list is gone. Doing much more damage to cathay than cathay ever imagined in its short sightedness. Cathay won't change anything back to better. To do so would be an admission of fukkking up. That's just not the colonial thing to do. But riding the sinking ship under water is.
Do you think every manager that has been rotated out give a second thought about the damage they left behind? Of Course not! That’s someone else’s problem.
Pilots should adopt that same mentality. If the company doesn’t work for them, there are a million other Airlines that’ll take them. Yes it might involve relocating but so be it. Once they move on it’s no longer their problem.
Be selfish like the managers, but hit them where it hurts; In the wallet. It costs them a lot more in resources to replace a pilot than a middle/senior manager or Executive.
And for all those budding applicants who are just after a type rating, yes CX can bond you but can’t enforce it outside HK.
