Old chap. While your intentions are well meaning, I am afraid reality is another matter. Yes, there are many whiners on this site; some over the top, some quite level headed. But unfortunately the fact remains that this forum is totally useless in getting anything done.
Yes, management (and their advisers - consultancy firms) do read this forum. It serves as an ad-hoc feedback service for them. But they not only take no notice of this stuff from a change point of view, but also revell in the infighting it produces. It's not just Cathay that does this. Most major airlines do this. Apart from the negotiation table (and not necessarily even there), this is not a forum to try and reason with what sounds like a (typically) intransigent management.
