yawn....
let's make is simple for you. Two questions:
1. Why should I not take the raise on offer?
2. What strategy (details please) do you have to 'force' CX to offer more?
Couldn't care less about your attempt to belittle and demean. Whether I have been here one year or 20, common sense still applies. I have studied the history of this company since the mid 80's, and one thing is exremely apparant, and that is that CX never gives in to pressure or threats. In 99 they were prepared to shut down the airline and use wet lease if need be to break the pilots. They have decided to do what is necessary to operate the airline safely into the next period of it's growth. Many of us here seem be fixated on a resentment of their seniors, rather than a resentment of the real problem, which is a rather mean and arbitrary management.
So, answer the two questions with clear logic and reason. If you can 't do that...well,.....
ps. a rather pointed example of 'cutting off our own noses to spite our faces' was when Nick was offering A scale Captain for ALL captains...but we decided not to take the package it was contained in. I wonder what all the present B scale captains think of that brilliant strategic decision now. Take what we can...fight for more later.
