Brown nose, the pilot body is made up of three groups of people. Those who recently joined and have little to lose, those who have done financially well and have little to lose, and in-between is the great majority.
Unfortunately those beating their collective chests loudest over CC have done financially well (ironically because of employment by CX) and have nothing to lose in these negotiations.
It's best you don't forget that.
We didn't vote to not answer our phones on days off, we voted for CC which, as the company points out, is a whole lot more. Many don't seem to grasp this. If you seriously think you are going to lose only one days pay for industrial action you are badly mistaken and perhaps need a history lesson.
I won't bore you with details, suffice to say that during SARS the company had no choice but to inform the markets what it's financial situation would be when it was bleeding money as sadly no one was traveling.
It advised it could shut down completely for at least 12 months before starting operations back up, it has very very very deep pockets.
It's also best you don't forget that.
