Despite my misspelled handle I work for CX and I want to voice my support for swh et al. Same boarding priority is BS. It p1sses me off that Dragonair staff can bump me off my airline as well as receiving a long list of other conditions better than mine. Not only that, but they get a choice! Where's my choice? That travel fund and FOCs and the same boarding priority is ridiculous.
What, may I ask, has the AOA done about this farce? Nothing... There's a surprise.
And I get told how fair it is.
On what possible grounds could Dragonair staff justify asking for (and threatening tantrums over) receiving a higher boarding priority on (as someone else said) an airline they don't work for?
One upside: At least everyone in CX now knows that Dragonair pilots get paid more than CX pilots!
