I guess all I can do is wait to see what happens and hope for the best.
I'm still a little confused - is this new proposed F/O salary structure only for DEFO's hired directly to a non-HK base - or will it mean a decrease in pay for new-hire DESO's initially as well? How about a new-hire DESO who, several years from now, successfully upgrades to F/O - will this mean he will be earning less pay than an S/O who passes his upgrade prior to 2007?
At any rate, it seems to be a raw deal all around - what incentive is the company offering its employees in exchange for their YES vote?
Also, is there any approximate date that management is expected to make the announcement of the outcome?
