The enemy is not the KA pilot but CX management.
By the looks of this thread the Cathay pilot is the enemy. The enemy to the KA pilot and an enemy to himself.
KA pilots could be better served staying seperate. Undercutting CX pilots with a lower cost base ( KA B Scale ) and a 'relatively' quickly expandable pilot group; small scale efficiencies too etc.
A poor deal on integration will result in another heavy round of pilot departures. I can't see any benefit to CX management except by diluting the DPA- and if the next six months brings new found efficiencies they may not really want that anyway.
I'm happy seperate unless mature sentiment emerges from the CX pilot group.
