LG; I was commenting on your remarks about frtr pilots being rostered to operate pax ac. This would be out of seniority. If I was asked to vote on whether to allow CX to integrate the pax and frtr crew such that I would be required to operate with a captain 3 or 4 years junior to me (I'm an FO) I would vote NO. Most of the people I joined with would vote the same. I would also vote no on any issue that gave a pay rise or any other improvements to ASL/CXF COS, again if I was asked to vote. If frtr pilots want to fly pax ac for pax salary and COS then there is plenty of room at the bottom of the list. I would think that if we are to integrate the crews then the only way I, and many of my colleagues, would be able to accept such a plan is if all pilots operate in the seat that their seniority number will hold. Unfortunately that puts qualified captians back to SO and I can't see the company doing that. Basically there are a lot of pilots in this company that were significantly disadvantaged by this whole cock up and we aren't willing to give away any more of what little career we have left. The way I understood it there is already an ASL Pilot's Association and they are part of HKALPA, as are the Dragon Air pilots, isn't that enough representation for you?
