...ok Einstein, so the same logic will apply when Air China finally assumes control of CX will it?
Air China pilots will come to fly 'The Groups' new HKG-based A380's because after all they took over CX! It will clearly be explained it wasn't a merger and you will go to the bottom of their list and be based in Chengdu flying to Xian every day.
Be careful what you push for.
Suggest you look 4 years in front of your face rather than 4 months.
It's well and truly time the KA & CX pilots got together (with their associations doing the same) and created a unified and cohesive group concentrating on the BIG picture, not just what seems to suit one particular individual on any given week.
