"In recent years, many US airlines have been forced to seek major adjustments to the packages of existing pilots both in terms of remuneration and retirement packages. This has not occurred at Cathay Pacific"
Yes they have. UAL, AMR, DAL, etc have all been forced to RAISE the remuneration and retirement packages since 2012! This isn't post 9/11 we are dealing with anymore.
They are correct that Cathay has not adjusted remuneration or retirement packages upwards like in the US!
