The GOOD thing about where we are now is we (mostly) all have come to the realization we are on the same team and have strongly indicated we will not accept worsening conditions of one group to favor another group--no matter how cleverly worded or how sweet the bribe. Karma has a way of catching up with you. Freighter or Passenger, HKG or Based, Regional or Long Haul, Airbus or Boeing we are all in this together.
Our conditions have deteriorated in the past because we HAVE allowed ourselves to be divided in the past and it's always easy to screw the faceless 'other guy.' Well, the 'other guy' is us.
So hold out and stay the course. Steady as she goes.
