Mmm; has it occurred to either of you that the SCMP report on ESF teachers' pay is from the same team of scaremongers that are bringing the Cathay dispute to the public attention? From what I read in these forums, not many of the Cathay pilots agree with the SCMP line on the dispute. Would it be sensible to view the ESF report as being similarly distorted in order to sell papers? I would suggest that this is the case - even a quick flick through the said article revealed numerous discrepancies and hearsays-as-facts.
Any real knowledge of the ESF package would reveal that the bulk of the teachers are now well below the salary levels reported in the article. Very much like the A scale v. B scale situation...
