Guru.....look at the obvious. This is actually a good sign. A friend in the press here in HK tells me that the Swires have been calling in every favour they can to ensure that nothing is said in the press (so much for a free press in HK..). The good thing about this is that it shows that they are sh-t scared, and are taking the threat seriously. I can tell you that between now and July 1, we will be inundated with propoganda, threats and all manner of intimidation. It is time to stand up to this management and their utter failure to treat us properly. If we don't stand up to them....it will be a green light to intensify their efforts to completely devalue our careers. In other words, this is the real thing...and we don't have a choice other than to stand up to them. The management have pushed us to this point through their arrogance and stupidity. The ONLY way ahead for us is to cripple this operation. The HK government is on record as having warned the Swires that a shutdown of CX will not be allowed. If our threat is credible, the Government will force the Swires to settle at the 11th hour. Remember, WE didn't create this situation, and WE have no choice but to stand up to this tyranny. Basically, I personally don't care anymore, and look forward to seeing rows of parked jets. Bring on July 1.
