411A and Ironbutt, I should have clarified, the employment ban is for the 747-400 only.
There is no militancy in the limited industrial actions, the battle is in the courts. The vetoing of a C scale will benefit new joiners ( 45% less pay ), as well as current pilots. So it is not entirely self-serving.
A group of pilots are doing their best to uphold conditions. What's interesting is that the spiteful remarks on these pages come from an old has been 411A ( well known in Fragrant Harbour for his bitterness toward CX pilots ) and Ironbutt57, who in the swansong of his career is unusually, banished to Gulf Air.
