Firing the 49ers was the best strategic plan we have done in the history of Cathay Pacific Airways. I cost us very little money compared to how much we have in reserve and what it saved us in Industrial Relations.
In turn we have a very very compliant workforce, association, not given any pay rises and do not plan to give any in the future. We own you!
We get less complaints from the pilots when we abuse your rosters continuously. We work stack, change rosters to avoid overtime, re-roster and assign reserve well over your original duty, etc. We do what we please. You acknowledge all our requests. We get few complaints.
If we must fire en-mass in the future, we will not hesitate to do so. It may cost 50 pilot jobs every 10 years but it is a great motivator. It is always effortless to pick 50 pilots. We have evidence in their P-file or their training files. After the firings, the pilot group will fall inline. So yes, we have learned our lesson.
Cathay Pacific and the Hong Kong Government will ensure that the Proper Judge is put in place for the Hong Kong Court cases. This ensures the proper outcome. Both parties have a vested interest in not having labor win a court case in Hong Kong.
Give your money to the CPU and blunder it away with the 7 members and 3 donators. Squander your money. We have more money in petty cash in Cathay City then the CPU will ever get in donations.
There are no names on the CPU, because they will unequivocally be on the list of 50 and yes we know who they are. Yes the donators will be sought out, so act accordingly.
Good fortune in encountering a job, mr. crofts. We stand by our dismissals.
