If anyone thinks Cathay Pacific Airways is going to give one more hour or one more cent without us threatening industrial action they are very much mistaken.
As long as we are not prepared to approve a strike ballot which could ultimately lead to EVERYONE out on a picket line, we will get absolutely no concessions from the owners and managers of Cathay Pacific Airways. If Delta have to have a vote for a strike and then wait till the eleventh hour for a settlement, can you imagine what we are going to get from this lot if we don't even have a strike ballot?
If you want a workable roster and all the salary concessions taken from you in the last few years returned and then some, then you are going to have to vote to strike. End of story.
More from Delta. Boy do those union boys (AKA all the pilots) know how to deal with their management.

You had all better start thinking very seriously about what action you are prepared to take to protect your livelyhood,your family and your profession.
