CX ordered to compensate suspended promotion pilot Source: HKET (A18, Jul 4)
The Labour Tribunal ordered the Cathay Pacific Airlines to compensate a pilot a total of HK$270,000 for the suspension from promotion. Scott Williams, a second officer (civil aviation) from CX said he was suspended from promotion, 18 months after joining the company, which against the conditions stated in his employment contract. Williams filed a Labour Tribunal claim. The Tribunal said last Friday (July 3) that the airline recruited over hundred of first officer (civil aviation) in year 2007 and 2008 in order to reduce training costs and also extended the pilots’ retirement age, resulted a lack of promotional opportunities for the second officers. The Tribunal ordered the Cathay Pacific Airways to pay HK$270,000 to Williams for compensation. The airline is now seeking legal advice in considering whether to appeal the case.


Yeeeeaaahh Baby. Now that's what I'm talkin about!
And nothing less than he deserves, apart from his promotion of course. I would assume that Scotty has everyone's vote for re-election to the committee.
