If a payrise will only result from a flood of people leaving CX, then we have no hope. Given the way the airline industry and seniority is built, for the most part, the only people that will go are those who BOTH really can't stand it here (most of us!) AND those who can afford ($$) to go (not many of us). Who can afford to go.....generally either those who are in their first couple years and hence won't be taking a huge paycut to go somewhere else or those who are so well set up financially that they can handle starting at the bottom somewhere else. Its not like we all have the ability to walk to show our disgust at how we are treated and or paid.
What happened to rewarding employees for hard work, recognising record profits can and should result in better pay for your job (don't start me on the joke that is profit share), and also acknowledging that over the years, the cost of living does increase. Sure, reviewing what other airlines pay is part of the process, but if this the only element of a pay discussion then lets wave the white flag.
