Whatever you do do not reveal your tactics on an open forum like this and telegraph your intentions.
Ignore the usual "glorified bus driver" drivel and other personal slights. Do not engage in childish name calling and personal abuse.
Make sure that you do not fraternise or socialise with management as they use these occasions for intelligence purposes. This is especially true for your union representatives. There is good reason to believe that there were too many "convivial" social occasions between AFAP reps and management in the Australian dispute resulting in some indiscreet "loose tongues" revealing useful insights to management.
Cathay pilots seem to have realised this at last. Apparently it is customary to frequent the same venue as management on off duty social occasions....Keep away! ...Treat them like lepers... Go somewhere else.
Do not respond to "surveys" of any kind, especially company initiated ones, because they will be used to your disadvantage.
You will be wasting your time trying to get the Media on side.
And lastly be prepared to negotiate realistically.
