Rod, the simple fact that underpins my point is this: CX relies on expat pilots (for the most part). Because of that, there is an expectation to be able to manage our affairs properly in our home countries. I joined the company when that was explicitly agreed and accommodated. They expect more from me than the average, and I provide that. I expect something in return, at the very least the understanding that I wasn't born and bred in Kowloon. If you wish to ignore this point, so be it. It's the company that is trying our tolerance, not the other way around. Also, do you truly think it realistic that none of us employed would be in the C and T department? My point was that I will leave T and C if they continue to make my life impossible to manage. There are literally hundreds of commuters in this airline, by choice or necessity. The latest scheme will result in untold frustration, anger and resistance. That result is not in doubt.
