Well I guess you are now reaping what you sowed. Look forward to being screwed for the rest of your career.
Age 60...on B scale reduced pay and benefits. You didn't stand up for us so screw you.
George...I take my hat off to you.

Yes, we are so screwed! Other airlines have furloughed hundreds and or lost entire pension schemes, benefits, dramatic salary cuts but we are the screwed ones. We may have to work to age 60, like everyone else in the industry but we are the screwed ones. Many other airlines are so unstable pilots with as much as 10 years or more of seniority are jumping ship trying to join us screwed ones at CX.
Take look around you and take notice if you can. The screwed ones are ALL of us in this industry called aviation and we (CX) happen to be doing a little better than almost everyone else!
