Yes, would agree that the CX guys need a contract (three years would be reasonable)...and no they are not paid too much, they just do not deserve more. And, rostering could be improved, for both the pilots and the company.
However, the CX pilots I have met (mostly in FRA & NRT) have had the inflated opinion that they are "the best", no other airline can compare to the "most experienced, best trained, most talented" flight crew that CX has. Of course this is a load of BS, and can be accounted for by the amount of beer consumed by the "most experienced, best trained etc...)
Inflated egos do not present much of an impression to airline management and indeed the AOA has now found this out...much to their collective dismay, i'm sure. Attitude is most important, and the AOA guys just do not measure up in this department...or perhaps they have far to much "attitude". And the "ban" nonsense makes their whole cause look ridiculous.

Don't stir the pot....just the facts. Lets hope that the upcoming "elections" will bring better results.
