They really don't get it do they? The GMA needs to have look at the pay scales and benefits of REAL US airlines (not the commuters...) and see that we are already far behind in compensation by comparison. It will only be far more glaring once we are onshore.
I really don't know much about the contract at CX, but I find this hard to believe. By 'REAL US airlines', I am assuming you mean the US3 (United, Delta, and American). Is CX really 'far behind in compensation by comparison' to the US3?
