The level of disconnect shown by some of our -supposed- pilots genuinly worries me.
We fly for Cathay Pacific Airways. We are 3 month contract pilots. We came here for cash, and we leave for cash. That's the gig; that's your COS.
There is nothing better going for the vast majority of us, , and they already know that.
If you want a payrise, quit and go get yourself one, but don't throw around words such as deserve, fair, demand and benchmark. That's not in their vocabulary, and frankly it dissapeared from ours when we signed the contract.
When enough leave our wages will go up. But don't hold your breath; there's entire nations of pilots willing to do our job for less. A lot less. All we need to do is train them at a replenishing rate, which despite the sheer stupidity of it we continue to do.
Talk with your feet. Didn't think so.
