You guys just don’t get it do you!!!!


There is a ban in place to try and force the management back to the negotiating table. At present they are choosing to manage their workers through intimidation and fear. They want to be able to cut our pay and conditions as and when they feel like it with no resistance from a scared work force.

By taking a position now you are playing into their hands and undermining everything we are trying to achieve.

As I said before “What makes you think this is not your problem?”

As soon as you arrive in Hong Kong you will realise that the job you have so desperately wanted is under threat. Your housing is going to be cut (not might be, IS going to be cut!!) Your rest days will become fewer, you will see more 3-man crews hence more fatigue. I bet they even promised you a 13-month bonus? Guess how much bonus I got last year? ZERO!!!!

By accepting a position now you are telling this management “hey, we can kick the **** out of these guys, take away all their conditions of service, and people STILL want to join!!!”

So if you want to join a CAREER airline then please help us make this a company worth joining, it doesn’t sound like it now but it will be of great benefit to you also. At the moment you can’t see the wood for the trees.
