Just a thought. Since CX flies to countries, and has basings and working established offices in countries where it is not illegal to strike. Take as many of your pilots to Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Vancouver and elsewhere and strike. Walk down the streets with your signs. Then you will get the media behind you and the government might not want to act quite so quickly to arrest people. And if you are fired, well hey, war is war and if you aren't willing to take the bullet then raise the white flag and shut up. You just might find being fired is the greatest thing they could have done for you.
