I have quietly waited for a sign of common-sense from our management. From the increasing abuses (..B-scale extendees,freighter flying conditions for temp basings, abusive rostering, arrogant responses to legitimate questions, vindicitive treatment of individuals, etc...), to the lack of fairness towards the A-scale pay cuts, particularly in light of the record profits being realised (if the paycuts were justified on the basis of 'financial peril'.....then what justifies them now...?), this management seems hell-bent on riding the operation into the ground. I will NOT accept another paycut....do you hear me Nick? Your attack on us was malicious and brutal.....and the shoe is now on the other foot. I and many of my colleagues are well resolved to express our EXTREME displeasure should the next pay cut go through. I assure you that to call our bluff will result in unmitigated chaos. You well know that the real reasons for the paycuts was a pathalogical dislike and envy of the aircrew by the Swire managment, and you chose to attack the very staff who have given this airline it's enviable safety record, loyalty and customer reputation. Well, you will now reap what you have sowed. Go ahead and let the pay cut proceed as planned. You will live with the consequences. Don't make the mistake of thinking we are toothless.....becuase, like me, many of us have been biding our time....and our patience is at an end. Welcome to Hell Nick.
