After reading all the discussions re the sacking of the 49'for the last 12 month no solutions has appeared to solve the stalemate between the management & the A.O.A.
If the A.O.A. had talks with Cathay after the 9-11 tragedy & told them that the pilots were willing to take a 15%pay cut to help the company out during the downturn in the airline industry simular to the staff at Singapore Airline , the chances of the 49's of being re-employed would have improved.
In any dispute there are no winners only losers.All it needs is new negotiators to approach the company & tell them the pilots are willing to help the company to become bigger better & more profitable by taking less sickies & takiing the right amout of fuel on all flights ,leaving on time.& getting shares in the company instead of bonuses.
