For those of us lucky enough to be employed by a decent company I can see why one would think twice before applying or accepting a position with CX.
However, it is perhaps foolish to think that those employed around the world in general aviation or by other less than professional organisations to refuse an offer from CX.
While those lower on the food chain, (in this case those in positions in the industry I have just mentioned above) are continued to be treated like dirt, CX will have a steady flow of applicants.
Remember also people, generally most pilots are a selfish, money hungry species who will usually do almost anything to jump the fence to greener pastures. No doubt these are traits which have been developed as a sort of survival mechanism after years of abuse in this wonderful industry.
A ban of this sort I feel will never work due to some of the factors I have mentioned in this post.
For those who wish to persist at applying pressure to management perhaps it is time for a change in tactics ??
