Snake,I detect more than touch of envy with your quip:
Resistance and the others (these are the guys often overheard in the First Class cabin plotting the downfall of the airline whilst tucking into vintage Krug and Lynch Bages).
It is CX
MANAGEMENT who made the disastrous and expensive pre-emptive STRIKE by UNNECESSARILY chartering the wet-leased aircraft - this is what is costing Cathay Pacific MEGA MILLIONS....MANAGEMENT`S FOOLISH, IRRESPONSIBLE, UNNACCOUNTABLE actions coupled with a refsal to acknowledge present world market factors, and the REAL need to FIX a problem with their crews.
Speaking with several
Dragonair pax a couple of days ago, and their opinion is management of CX are deliberately attempting to bait the pilots into an all out strike to try to save face for their 10 MILLION dollar-a-day blunder (with the chartered aircraft).
How about some meaningful discussion instead of continuing down this damaging path!
