So everything was OK before was it spanners? Have you been on leave for the last 8 years or do you just believe the CX publicity machine? One doesn’t need to be particularly astute to see through the posturing and BS. As you always appeared fairly astute in your previous posts I assume you are now just being mischievous. Are you aware that this is the third time the company have walked away from negotiations prior to imposing yet another contract. If they are so smart why didn’t they impose the one they wanted first time around? Or do they make it up as they go along. What do you think of a bunch of managers who deliberately sabotage their own airline and disrupt their passengers and try to use this as a weapon against their pilots? They sacked 3 pilots then another 49 then grounded a large part of the fleet and put hundreds of CX crew on standby. They told the media the pilots were on a sick out, hence they were spending millions on wet leased aircraft to keep their passengers flying (the hypocrisy boggles) Unfortunately for them the sickout did not happen. Everybody worked normally, the sight of TT on TV trying to explain this one away was a TreaT.
Negotiation is the only way out of this. Several prominent analysts in HKG have stated CX is winning the posturing war but at the end of the day they have to ask themselves why their pilots are so unhappy. Indeed! I believe the HKAOA have stated that as soon as the company provide the requested rostering data then the limited industrial action will cease and negotiations can continue. Why do they not provide this data? TT says it is just a media stunt. OK so call their bluff and give them the data, what do CX have to lose by doing so? Everybody else in the company would certainly be winners if they did commence negotiations in good faith. Come on CX do it.
And the next post gives an idea of what a member of the HKG traveling public thinks.
