ACMS
I say - what a lot of chest beating. Perhaps now that you have realised that I'm not a pilot, never have been a pilot, never wanted a career as a pilot and have never come onto the flight deck to tell a pilot what to do - that I'm most definitely not jealous of you.(glad you can now be bothered to read the boring old threads)
And that when talking in my posts about all employed at CX, that strangely it also means the people outside the pilot community.(well spotted, I'll use bigger letters, or bits of lego for you)
Nowhere in this thread has anyone actually told you, or anybody else how they should do their job. We are all professionals here, and peoples lives depend on the work that we do.(if you can prove this then I am willing to apologise - over to you)
Just to pick up on the fact you mentioned earlier about the AOA working for all pilots at CX. Because, it's a good job you left the AFAP - they only look after their own:
The role we have as a trade union is to protect and improve the conditions of employment for its members.
(Source AFAP Website)(by the way shouldn't that be our members?)
I'm sure it was a concious decision by you to join the AOA, who
you say works for all pilots in CX (couldn't find a manifesto for the AOA, so have to take your undisputable word for it), even non memebrs. As you personally are so concerned for everybody in the pilot community - even the non-members - to quote you in post 86:
828a, YOU are the problem we have in CX.
why aren't you in OUR union? you're obviously not from what you say.
You say it in such a warm and welcoming way. I'm sure 828a is glad you're backing the AOA's free of charge negotiations for him.
Is it correct that anything that is negotiated by the AOA and is adopted by CX, is passed on to the whole pilot community by CX?
As for my
obvious jealousy of you - you know whenever people ask me locally who I work for and I say CX - the first question they always ask if I'm a pilot - and do you know when I tell them that I am not a pilot - their attitude seems to almost change when I say it. Why is that? I personally can't answer because I'm too polite to ask them, oh and did I mention I'm not a pilot enought times before? Maybe ACMS you have had the opposite experience, tell me, how do people in Hong Kong react when you in particular tell them you are a pilot - I'm guesing they must be green with envy? Especially when you tell them that everybody else is jealous of you.(or is that only in your mind?)
