It's simple.
Vote "Against" Revised Company Proposal
Vote "Against" Original RP07
The revised company proposal is so bad it makes RP07 look ok. Why? CX desperately wants RP07. This is their bluffed attempt to get us to revote yes on RP07. They are not even prepared to meet us half way in making a decent offer. The revised company proposal is a complete slap in the face to the Pilot body. It demonstrates their total lack of interest in negotiations.
It is all take take take by the company and no give...
The pendulum is swinging in favour of the pilot body. Crewing levels are short, pilots are leaving yet the Jets are arriving. When you read all the company propoganda in the press it is all about Growth, Expansion, more Jets etc etc.
What we want is simple; Real negotiations dealing with real issues such a Salary and employment conditions. HKG is not going to get any cheaper to live in. Look at all the recent information regarding UPS, Fedex and even Virgin Atlantic payscales.
Do we really think CX is going to just roll over and give us a payrise when we have nothing to bargain with. It is time to stand strong and not give away all our bargaining chips especially when the company is so desperate for RP07.
The revised company proposal is a clear indication of what the company is prepared to give us, NOTHING!
What does CX want? They want RP07.
What do CX pilots want? We want the Fallback Position.
Lets return to the Fallback Position.
