Back On Board is a rumoured upcoming KA management policy. It will be a a kind of detente of sorts. It is a likely realisation that things have gone too far and some sort of proactivity essential.
It may even be an urgent back peddling approach forced on a reluctant KA management by the new owners. Of recent, the situation almost escalated, with KA management recommending sackings of problem pilots. With resignations trickling in, this policy seems to have been abandoned. And the situation has become so dire and morale so low, problem pilots are spread across the entire pilot demographic group.
At a guess Back On Board would be seperate to current pay negotiations.It will entail an end to open hostility and obstructionism from Personnel Dept and friends. It will cost the Company nothing but will be a severe loss of face to two senior managers in particular.
Dragonair was made lean and as overpriced as possible for sale to CX. Some current managers are culpable. The damage is obvious and the victims have been staff. The ball is in managements' court.
