My apologies, Thrust et al.
I don't want to come across as just fanning you guys on whilst I look on from the outside. I very much want to become a part of the company and I fully understand that, if I get in, the result of this fight will change my future with Cathay.
As I have foolishly demonstrated above I know little of the matter to try and make suggestions so I should limit myself to showing my full support (albeit nothing more than spiritual) to all Cathay pilots who are risking their careers in fighting for the dignity and pride that they deserve.
