The pilots on the inside ARE saying, screaming, yelling DO NOT DO IT. As for the AOA, my opinion has been voiced on a separate thread.
Management: "Here's a sh!t sandwich. Trust us, you're the greatest!!"
Experienced (CX) pilots: "Don't eat it. We're trying warn you, it's a sh!t sandwich."
Wannabe: "Wow! A really and truly and for real sh!t sandwich from 'Cathay Pacific'??! I'll bet / hope the 4th & 5th bite make it taste better! After all, when have they ever been immoral, lied or torn up legally binding contracts? What would these experienced pilots know anyway....."
You ARE the voice. We all tell you the facts, truths & histories but it's you wannabes who have the real voice & power. It just takes a tiny showing of a backbone.
We all say pilots are their own worst enemy, & so many are lining up to lower this profession further. One day, and it will happen, you'll be screwed over by another pilot or airline management and have the audacity to feel insulted.
