Harlem, blind doesn't even come near. You forgot Deaf and Dumb too.
Things are changing alright, but the DPA, the HKOA and HKALPA are like three little monkeys - refusing to see the writing on the wall.
HKOA, you lost your last great battle against your management, and the latest news - Direct LHS! If true, what are you going to do about it? Maybe, er, another hiring ban?
DPA, your company is being swallowed up and incorporated into CX. Are you going to go to war with the HKOA over seniority?
HKALPA, why do you exist really? You call yourselves an 'umbrella organisation'. Rubbish. The umbrella organisation is IFALPA. You are an ineffectual redundancy. As far as I can see your role is to try to act as middle man between the DPA and HKOA.
The divisions are obvious and will soon be exploited to the max by managements at all three HKG companies. The only hope you have is in unity and concerted reaction and resistance.
But if all you are interested in is - who did I want to work for, you are a self deluded little monkey, bound for the slaughter.
