Agreed. Not all who have differing opinions are a.s.s.h.o.l.e.s
The guys on Cprune know how Cathay Pacific Airways treat its employees. For those guys that get on there and say drop everything and CX will talk don't know the character of Cathay Pacific Management. Look how they negotiate with the cabin crew, ground crew, and flight crew. They talk for awhile, get all the information they can, try to figure what you will accept without doing anything, walk out of talks stating your group is unreasonable and force a contract on you.
So when someone states otherwise on Cprune the guys are all over them like white on rice. They are a strong bunch. Agreed some of the guys get emotional, but that is expected.
What about the Canadian Captain that just got demoted while talking industrial stuff while sitting in the jumpseat? Seems if we have a different opinion than the company, they will intimidate you to no end. Great way to run an outfit. Another great way to treat a fellow employee.
What about the Captain the FREAKS OUT, yes freaks out, at F/O's for having a yellow pen in his shirt. This Captain continues to FREAK OUT while in the cockpit clearing creating a Flight Safety hazard. Anything being done about this. Yes there is, the F/O is getting called into the office for an informal chat. Seems reasonable to me.
Cathay Pacific Management should be running a bush operation, because that is what it is turning out to be "A Bush Operation with 747's". The only reason they make money is because of their location.
Phlaps 1:
And Turbo-Beavers top eight reasons for quitting the Union are:
REASON 1: I can't afford the dues.
REASON 2: I don't believe in unions.
REASON 3: I don't need to be a member. I get everything that members get without paying the dues.
REASON 4: Who needs the Union? What has it ever done for me?
REASON 5: I don't like so and so.
REASON 6: The union is just here to get troublemakers out of the trouble they deserve to be in.
REASON 7: I don't want anything to do with the union. I'm trying to get promoted to boss.
REASON 8: I went to the union with a problem and didn't get any satisfaction.
Any the only excuse you can come up with is " Guys gang up on me when I post on Cpurne".
