First and foremost congrats to the KA boys. You guys deserve it. KA is not the best airline in the world and you work most of the month.
As for the boys at CX we have a union that right now are sitting on their hands watching the world spin around. I anticipate a decline in membership over the next 6 months unless changes in attitude from the GC will take place. Sure its easy to blame the AoA - but who else are we to blame. Its seems they are doing NOTHING at all. NOTHING.
It seems to me the only light at the end of the tunnel is the fact that guys are walking away and that CX are unable to man the jets. Its only a matter of time before somebody higher up in the system will start to ask questions like; why there are airworthy 744s parked on the ground? The one to answer that ? can only bull!!!! for that long. Changes will come - one way or the other. Unfortunately my faith in the AoA is not there.
