Please do not raise your hopes.
Employee cost restriction is the game to play to get those management bonuses.
The company admit when they raised the ID ticket fares that HKG inflation had gone up 15 - 20 per cent since 2001. But expect 5 per cent over 2 years if you are B scale. That is what your best efforts since 2001 are worth.
In the meantime, expect the A scale gravy train to keep on rolling.
Well done AOA.
