Our friend Mr Management is an idiot imposter as we all know but he has a point here and speaks with the mind of the Management (so far) but is not one of them - perhaps he's trying to help.
Be careful that we don't get outmanoeuvred by a 'last minute change of strategy' that CX could pull. They have an enormous war chest and will throw money at it that we can't afford. 'Better late than never' - you could say that they have already 'rewarded' these individuals with their pathetic gesture but try explaining that to the SCMP. We have to beat them to it.
Also, our 'strategy' is completely public on this medium. Refer to my previous post #49.
Not long to go now until the 9th Floor assembles but the
PR position of :-
'Cathay Pacific forced into a belated gesture by pilot's fund for heroic passengers' seems to sound OK.
If only 'they' had done the decent thing in the first place. What a ridiculous way to 'manage' anything.
Interesting quote tonight on a UK TV programme related to the Indian Mutiny of 1857 -
"if you continually ride roughshod over everything that people hold dear, one day they will fight back". Say no more...........
