point was that the airline reshuffled their top management, the new vice president, former chief pilot has not reached his goals yet, most likely he is on his way to become a member of the government - transport minister.
to prove his ability to the leadership, he imposed the 4% pay cut for pilots, euro pacific which was just having a few 777 guys under contract immediately delivered the pay cut to their pilots, suddenly they are fishing for A-330 pilots in the big pond.
rishworth and parc stood firm in their positions not to cut pilots salaries. later rishworth got the message from the airline to cut the salaries and cut it for 1.75% now they are the bad guys, but still are able to supply pilots for VAC,
parc stood firm not to cut the pilots salary and seems to have problems getting slots for checking new pilots.
