It is then, by their own logic, expected that any CX staff (apart from senior CC and pilots that is) who received any form of promotion, salary increase or otherwise was rewarded during 2009 by the company will not be in receipt of the 1.8% either?
A swire prince moving up in the world, a crew controller becoming a superviser or a securtiy guard gaining another stripe surely has been given a "step" on the career latter just like us?
Oh, what a charade it all is.
