There are some on both sides that quite frankly need to take a deep breath before posting here. I can assure you though that those at the very highest level of the AOA know that the DPA was offered this so called "sweetener" by management to try and get the pay offer over the line. The DPA didn't propose it. It is also a belief by some at the highest levels of the AOA that it is a Swire objective to have a "Group Staff Travel Policy". If this does come to fruition then the staff of the smaller airline in the the group will be shafted. In this case KA. My advise to KA pilots is don't be fooled by the shiny brochure. The devil is in the detail and if CX staff get priority 25 staff travel on KA flights, the majority of KA staff will get scr*wed. Maths unfortunately doesn't lie.
