I did hear from a Cathay pilot some time ago that out of around 1600 pilots employed by Cathay around 1000 are in the union and 63% of them voted for the ban to stay in place. So if what he says is correct that means that only 39% of the pilots at Cathay agree with the ban. Although I don't like to see management carrying on like the Cathay one did, I really think that unfortunatley management has won on this issue and the union should realise this.
