So what does all this mean?
It's easy to say that the SO's won the case, but at the end of the day the company will now have to pay all eligible SO's as JFO's. Fine.
But what will they do next? Have 60% of the SO's making JFO wages? Will Cathay decide that it's too expensive and upgrade all the SO's to JFO? I mean at least they can be utilized as more than a seat warmer. After all if they are already paying them as JFO's, well then they may as well be JFO's...
No?
