Well TALUFTE, the reality is that the CX clowns have really never had it so good. They work for a rather prestigious carrier, fly well maintained equipment and are paid quite reasonable salaries and have very good advancement possibilities...and STILL they whinge and complain.
The poor guys miss their families too much....or have too little time off they will tell you. If these guys don't like the job, they have a very simple solution at hand...simply quit and find another employer.
The fact that CX is way behind the power curve on earnings does not concern them at all...the only things that matter to them is their small little world of THEMSELVES, not the financial health of the company that they work for or the other employees that are striving to make/maintain CX a viable airline.
The management has dismissed many malcontents...and has a few more in their sights, i'm sure.
And then there is the employment "ban". Pilots are told that they had better not join CX and in the meantime many present flight crew are accepting upgrades at the expense of those "dismissed".
The reality is...these guys "cause" is dead as a doornail, and many know already, the rest will find out eventually, much to their consternation i'm sure. These malcontents are just SOL.
