Oh what great piece of reasoning. Poor law observing, highly profitable and safe CRX was hijacked be some selfimoprtant, arrogant, extortionate and unsafe SR pilots who destroyed poor CRX and its Saint Moritz, who would otherwise have porspered with 82 (soon about than 200) regional aircraft operating out of small Switzerland with no longhaul network. Well, if you really believe this crap, then there's really no common ground for further discussion!
Fact is that the final decision whether SWISS is an organic expasion of CRX (from some 3'000 to above 10'000 employees within a few weeks) or a merger of CRX and part-SR will not be decided by a BSL-biased amateur court but a some foreign courts. And pilot seniority will surely play no role there...
Fact is that (not so) Saint Moritz has been demasked as a law bending, unscrupulous megalomaniac, who has perhaps killed SWISS before it started by ordering almost 200!!! aircraft and who is trying to save his skin now by delaying the CRX accident reports forever.
Fact is that CCP walked out of the GAV negotiations and didn't show up at managements union talks.
Fact is that the investors gave their money to keep a longhaul network out of Switzerland and not to save CRX.
Fact is that the famous low CRX cost structure never existed. The best payed regional pilots in Europe flying about 35 block hours a month tell a totally different story. With SR gone, CRX had to pay for the first time for its sales organisation and was left without the profitable wet lease contracts. In other words they had to pay for their overhaed for the first time. All this ended in a loss of 300 million SFr. in only 3 month!!! That's EBIT loss, meaning without paying for aircraft lease and before paying taxes.
Fact is that our competitors are flying A320's and B737's and our passengers (they pay our salaries, as RV said correctly) demand similar comfort on our aircraft. Neither our Antonovinos or Embrios nor the old MD80s and certainly not our Saab can mesure up here. Perhaps the new Embraer will be better, I don't know.
Fact is that the german maket - once one of the most profitable for SR - was totally destroyed by CRX in less than 2 years. Whether this has anything to do with your safe, law observing CRX producing 4 accidents - only in this market - in the same time, I leave up to you to decide...
If you really wan't to have your famous low cost structure, I'd suggest you look what the low cost carriers are doing. How do you like this: Ground duty or unpayed leave for unlimited time for first officers, without the company being obliged to give any reason or to observe seniority! What do you think what the average blockhours per month in OC1 would be in such a company? And how many CCP members would get nothing on their paychecks by the end of the month? That's what low cost structure looks like! Luckily CRX never had this and hopfully we all will never have to work for such a company...
