Kafe,
Yes, we have a job and a salary.. SO then we should just be fat and happy.. With that attitude where will we be in ten years from now. Happy enough to have a job and fly for food. This is not about having a job and a salary. Its about getting what we think we deserve. Management in Cathay Pathetic have serverly screwed up in year 2008. Huge fine in the US and completely screwed up the fuel hedging - and for that they want the employees to pay. On the positive side CX employees are so used to being shafted that for most it does not hurt so much anymore.
I am truely sorry for you if you dont have a job and wish you the best of luck in getting one
