Goondiwindi,
I totaly sympathise with your position and truly believe that you do not deserve your current situation.
You are, however, asking people to support your position by turning down a job you obviously desperatley want back. Saint Paul Islands solution for these people has been "Go and join Emirates/Gulf/Singapore etc. etc." Is not that option open to you? If not, you must see the untenability of his position. Not all jobs are going to be open to all people. If you win, pilots are going to have given away their chance to work for Cathay, whilst you will regain your job, and for their sacrifice will get a heartfelt "Thanks" from you from your chair in an Airliner. If your efforts are in vain, BOTH of you will have lost the chance to work for Cathay. I think it is grossly unfair to load the responsibility for your troubles on the shoulders of young aspirants, just as desperate as you to work for a major airline, and then use (not very) veiled threats to intimidate them into your point of view.
How would you have felt if, as a young pilot just given the chance to join Cathay, someone older, richer, and with much more salable qualifications had instructed you to turn down the chance, because he didn't like the way the company had treated him?
