Well said Rod!
Don't be fooled (HKPA pilots and those desiring upgrades & basings) by this ridiculous and insincere email. It is nothing more than a desperate attempt to fracture your resolve. See it for what it is, pure desperation. Step back and see the forest from the trees. CX has not received a single A350 yet (50 on order and 20 777X after that), and they are already begging for training ban relief. If you have half a clue, this ought to be setting off alarm bells in your head. Stay the course. This is working. If it weren't, you would not be reading emails like this latest one from the GMA. They are trying to deal directly with you. Stand behind your Union and each other. You have to chose... A Company which just lost over a billion (USD) in fuel hedges and constantly works to degrade your CoS OR the pilots' union which is trying to stop them. The AOAs are far from perfect, but they are a far better choice than some "Johnny come lately" manager looking to do a touch and go through CX and depart with millions of dollars skimmed from your pockets.
