Here's a serious question for all you CX and KA guys out there.
Hong Kong is a small place, which now has 3 native airlines operating within it's market. Two of them are unionized, the third is not.
The two which are unionised - have separate unions? Am I correct? That's what I'm told.
If true, I find it bizarre, especially after the merger(?) of the two companies.
Why does HK need two different unions?
Following on from that - if there was a single union representing ALL pilots in HKG wouldn't it make sense to invite the pilots of the new un-unionised company to join? Don't you think it would make a lot more sense to be in the business now of dragging up the terms and conditions of those new pilots to CX levels? Because if you don't, you will inevitably be dragged down to theirs.
