The timescale of having to make a decision in 30 days doesn't give many pilots the opportunity to find employment elsewhere. Most have mortgages and families to feed so will be forced into taking a job with CX at least until they are offered something else.

The offer as it stands certainly isn't seen as attractive and it is hoped that the DPA will be able to make some improvements.

From what I've seen and discussed with mates in CX and the AOA, they all seem to be empathetic and aware that we are not the enemy. FWIW, I don't have any problem with CX pilots - this is not an us and them scenario. We need to remain on good terms with each other if we are to prevent management from screwing us even further. (Of course I reserve the right to change my mind after a RCC! )
