VforVENDETTA,

What they want is and has always been very clear. The same compensation package it took to entice them to hk and work for cx in the first place.”

Hahahaha.
What rock have you been living under for the last decade??

In 2016 in exchange for calling off industrial action in the form of CC/TB the pilots were offered what enticed them to HK in the first place (COS08) plus 7% plus improved HKPA. Voted down.
in 2018 after the company self destructed in 2017 the pilots were offered COS08 plus 1% initially then further pay rises linked to inflation plus improvements to HKPA and rostering. Voted down.

So recent history suggests COS08 plus more is not enough. It needs to be COS08 plus more plus more. And that was five years ago. Since then the cost of living is up 20 to 30%. So if the pilots are consistent in what they think is enough to live in HK and work for CX whilst maintaining a reasonable standard of living they’ll have to be offered COS08 plus more plus more plus 20 to 30%.
It’s quite apparent the “compensation package it took to entice them to hk” is considered by the majority to be grossly inadequate.

So I ask ask again. What offer would it take to avert either formal or informal industrial action? Or is this supposed sickness just more chest beating and table thumping from the rabble raisers on the WhatsApp groups who can’t actually be bothered doing the hard yards of organising a coordinated campaign with a clear objective?
