Simple: leave don't complain.PPRUNE aint gonna save ya.
The more that leave the better argument the airline will have to secure permits in order to get people from the mainland fast tracked that would work for the fraction of what's on offer.Ask yourself who's CX's main shareholder?(It ain't Swire)
Not true airbusa330. Let me explain. People are leaving Dragonair. For a variety of reasons but the two top contenders are pollution and hostile management practices. The latter exemplified by the Pay Cut on offer!
So if people are leaving but are easily replaced this is a status quo.

Now this is where Pprune comes into things. If the true picture of a foreign airline is presented along with a true picture of expatriate life, the glossy sales pitch at recruitment can be balanced.

The picture presented by serving KA pilots is grim- this can be backed up by evidence of heavier than normal resignations.

If people don't come and people are leaving this is an inflationary pressure on wages. It may further worsen still to the extent where management must reasonably address issues of conditions of service and morale.

Don't believe me? Well Emirates and Qatar went through similar. This scenario, and thanks to Pprune for being the public median,helped forced pay rises.

Pprune is your friend.
