Unity, Unity, Unity. There is no unity amongst the Cathay pilots except for ones self. Is your unity similar to the unity you had when we fired 49 bad apples in one day? I see your group went on strike then.
Many pilots were so scared they could not accomplish your Maximum Safety Strategy.
Many will sign this agreement because they know it is healthier than the alternative, we will implement this contract and you have no say. You will loose the little money we have on the table.
Your AOA/GC understands this so they will recommend this agreement. The GC will not take an industrial stance on this and when we have to terminate some pilots, the GC will not be unscathed.
The pilot group will sign the new agreement and some will opt to stay on COS 99. Their conditions will not change but we successfully introduced COS 08 for new joiners. You will remain on COS 99 but certain agreements within that COS will be removed because of ASL integration.
This will be a new contract and will have two choices; 1. Remain on COS 99 2. Join on COS 08. There will not be a third option.
Our propaganda machines are standing by and we will have our posters on Pprune stopping the counter attacks. The DFO will write an article on the benefits of COS 08 as will your own GC.
It is futile for you to resist this new COS. It will happen, it just depends if you would like a little money for it.
In some ways, I would like to see a little resistance, makes the cream come to the top and much easier to terminate it.
