411a,
I am attempting to have a reasoned arguement with people I respect but disagree with. Your vitriolic tosh is neither helpful nor welcome.
Butt out.
To all at Cathay, there have now been posts from a small number of the many who are turning down the chance at a secure future because of your problems. They now outnumber the 49 you are trying to help. Obviously you put the rights of your members ahead of the welfare of other proffestional pilots, yet expect them to make sacrifices in support of your cause. You then have the temeritty to threaten sanctions against those that refuse to burn themselves in support of people in a more privilaged position than them. Will your association pay the wages of an unemployed pilot that STAYS unemployed because of your ban? Of course not...not one of us, not our problem. But he better do what you say in any case, or else.
Can you honestley say the welfare of aspiring pilots played any part in your decistion to instigate this ban?
