realitycx et al,
The point is not how many pilots support you. I support the intent of your action (Though I TOTALLY disagree with it's form e.g the ban).
But if only a small percentage of pilots DON'T support you (and evidently, by the fact that CX is employing sufficient pilots and judging by responses on this forum, it is more than a small percentage,) your strategy will simply fail, while having the adverse effects on your situation that have been well thrashed out here.
I simply can't understand why you would persist with a path that just won't work. Is it simply to express some form of moral outrage? Or is it, as I sometimes fear, to provide yourselves with a group of scapegoats you can blame for your problems?
Ultimatley it doesn't matter who's morally right or wrong, what matters is who wins. Because the HKAOA was not willing to take sufficiently strong action and posibbly risk their professtional future, but rather put the onus on young incumbents to fight on their behalf, you are losing.
Why flog a dead horse that does nothing but create more victims? Drop the ban, regroup, and try something that might work!!
