I second linksys's uploading of Alpa-S newsletter since the actual situation may not be portrayed accurately by the originator of this thread. Here are the undisputable facts:
There are MORE excess in FOs than Capts right now. Most of the FOs are on local (non-expat contract) terms. Therefore they (the FOs) are the majority group who will be affected if there's going to be a retrechment. They are fully represented by Alpa-S w.r.t the negotiation on CNPL & potential retrenchment.
The above newsletter seems to be available for viewing & downloading by ANY members of the public (at least for now!!!) at
ALPA-S homepage
