...and Saint Paul Island have stated a belief that pilots who turn Cathay down now will be employed in the future.When pressed SPI retreated from that position and has been silent on the issue ever since.
Utter rubbish! I have
not retreated from that position, quite the contrary, I restated it once in response to your first query. Ever since then you have wilfully ignored what I have said and repeated your own incorrect views ad nauseum. That is not a debate, but a monologue. I have not responded because I see little point answering someone who repeats the same thing over and over and over, regardless of what others say.
You seem to expect that a union is responsible not to its own members, but to recruit new joiners to
replace its own members. Ludicrous!
I challenge to tell us all what help you will give me, if I refuse an offer to replace you in your job. Are you offering a bribe for my non-action? Should I get a medal because I haven't murdered anyone today? This is insulting.
A simple message of thanks to all those who have turned down jobs at Cathay while the ban is in place. You have made the correct decision for your own career by doing so. There are many others in airlines around the world, including CX, who have done the same in the past and who have gone on to fly great careers. Goondiwindi is one of them (see #6 in his post above), so am I. We don't expect to be showered with gold for what we both felt to be fundamentally right, indeed we hardly give it a second thought from day to day; this is just a measure of our character and what we believe in. Don't let others tell you that self-interest should override your own sense of what is right or wrong; you have many years ahead of you.
