Congratulations Guys!
You have sucessfully taken the focus off the company and found yourself a group to blame for your problems! Just think, in a years time you'll be able to say to the 49ers "Sure, we didn't risk OUR jobs by striking,and ok, maybe we took YOUR jobs by taking upgrades, but we DID have a recruitment ban, and it would have worked IF it hadn't been for those damed S@@@S!!"
Well IF my Uncle had T@@S he'd be my Aunty! People were ALWAYS going to join under the ban, and formulating a strategy that assumed otherwise was simply foolhardy.
All your list proves is that your strategy isn't working! Some of you (Notably frankg) seem to be taking some sort of perverted joy in lining the guys who took jobs up for retribution. How will that help your cause? You put these guys in an untenable position and then hate them when they go the way thay feeds their families.
Not having a job is the worst thing in the world for ANYBODY, let alone a group who love their proffestion as much as pilots. Isn't fear of unemployment the reason you haven't gone on strike?Isn't that why what has happened to the 49ers is such a tragedy? Yet you won't even stop your EMPLOYED members being PROMOTED, whilst you target and vilify people who just want to start at the bottom and get a JOB!
The more names on your list, the less Cathay employees are in the HKAOA, the less power your union has, and the more confident potential Cathay pilots will be that they will have support in HK if they defy the ban.
"Union" means "A coming together", all yours is doing is creating a divide.
