Point taken Herb.I sincerely believe that HKAOA is interested in the benefit of ALL pilots worldwide.
CX is an airline with a colonial history.By design then, they are of course interested in their own pockets.But that is HISTORY.
However I do believe, the pendulum has swung too far on the other side.By comparing the oz based crew with us from the postings here, the locals are paid USD1000.00 less!Which means in no uncertain terms that we're capable but are being paid RM3800.00 less!This now looks like RACIAL DISCRIMINATION (by the CX management)& not market forces as they righteously claimed.
My only recommendation is to spit on their face.But alas......it's big money for those not type rated here.I will now say good luck to my brethrens here for choosing this very blurred path in their flying career.
As for me.....you all know where I stand now.
