It does not matter how many have turned down positions with CX. What matters is that enough have said yes for all ground courses to be full this year and those now being interviewed will get start dates next year.
There is no dispute. We work up to 900 hours per year. We don't go sick. The roster is stable. The aeroplanes leave on time. What is there to talk about for the management? All one has to do is work the published roster, depart on time and arrive on time.
The AoA has been out classed in all respects.
The AoA membership does not have the resolve to strike or even MSS again. We come from all over the world to HKG not for the wx or because we like living here. CX pay well, offer good promotion and basings, are expanding and have a great route structure - but we are NOT a united workforce. Too many backgrounds.
The AoA is busting itself by blindly supporting a few 49ers who will never work at CX again.
