More for everybody I say - we all want something. If the local guys can get any sort of increase on their contract - good on them - and the same goes for all.
Why would any of us care when CX pays more money to any of our flying colleaugues except to be happy for them??
Debating the pro's and cons of this is pointless. If you were local but you grew up in OZ and you cant even read and write Chinese would you not like to send your kids to a decent intl school and live in a decent space - the way you grew up??
Sure sure its not the contract you signed - but I signed '99 and I want my bypass and I want 65 too - so we all want something.
