AnotherDay....don't be silly.....
Cathay shutting down for a year...you can't be serious? They don't own Hong Kong! Do you think the Hong Kong government would allow it? Would the mainland Chinese government tolerate it for even one second? Give me a break, the local economy would be in tatters.
What about our airport landing slots, all over the world...they would lose them all to other, smarter, carriers. What about our pilot flying currency? Indeed our very qualifications, would be wiped out...they would need to re-train and reQualify 3000 pilots? What would that cost? Not to mention, and this is a big one, no bonuses for senior management. What about the shareholders....do you think they would tolerate such stupidly?
It would cost them a mountain of money. The very idea that they would ruin the Company, over a refusal to grant a single digit percent pay increase, because they have very deep pockets....that very notion is laughable! Especially since, as you say, they have very deep pockets....what's a few percent weighed against the potential loss of the entire company.
Your 23 posts mark you as one of our middle managers....I'm not surprised....is this the best you can come up with? Surely you can do better than threaten to shut down the company over what amounts to a pittance in cost for a Company that has historically pulled in billions of dollars each and every year.
Get real!
