disappointed
After reading all of these posts and being a member of pprune and a pilot of CX for some time, I find myself disappointed with some of the answers I read when management puts out proposals. How spineless can some people be. Accepting anything that reduces Cos should be absolutely unacceptable....and the second time around on the same issue.....unbelievable. CX pilots should be fighting for better conditions, not trying to hold onto what they have. Is standing together as ONE such a difficult concept?? Do you think that management can arbitrarily impose conditions on the pilot group if it is not divided? There are 2000+ pilots here and 30+ planes arriving. They need us.....period. There cannot be an airline without us. With all of the growth and other companies hiring, they are not in a position to make any such demands. This is not SARs, or 11 Sept, or the asian economic crisis, or the gulf war. Is it that unclear that the company wants RP07, and if the company wants it, then it CANNOT be good for the pilot group as a whole. CX pilots need to start believing in themselves and acting together as a whole. We need to be ONE. The only facts that are present are, the company is making lots of money, we are growing, china is growing, revenue on the pax and cargo side is usually above target, etc, etc. With this blurb of info, how can anyone even ponder the idea of giving away anything??? Conditions need to improve in times like these. Listening to this management type, whoever he may be, makes my blood boil because he can define a typical CX pilot and believes he can see into their soul. He thinks he owns us!! and so does the actual CX management!!! Here's to putting a stop to this tradition of laying down, and accepting sh#t conditions, and starting to work as a whole. Individually the can fire us, but collectively they are powerless. That should be the spirit. We cannot stand for this type of abuse, and control.
