What seems to escape many of you is that CX will only respond to people leaving. It's quite simple, really. Management doesn't care whether you are upset when you head off to work, just the fact that you are going off to work. But, they will take notice if they cannot recruit or you leave and go elsewhere. The only reason there were freighter salaries is because they could easily fill all the B scale slots. Let's remember that those who joined in April 93 said they would do our jobs for less money. And those who joined ASL in 95 said they would again do the same job for even lesser money.
The sole reason that this new offer proposes 55+ at the same salary is because there is not a line up to accept the present offer at reduced salaries. Plain and simple! And they need these pilots if they wish to expand.
The hotel is full of recruits so their present package is obviously sufficient!
Again, these DEFO recruits are saying that they are willing to join at an even lesser level. They are doing to many of you on the B / ASL scales that you did to us on the A scale.
So what can you do? Essentially nothing. Again, if it is that bad, why are you still here? Or better yet, why did you join in the first place!!!!
