I believe that another airline that would like to corner the HK market has made an offer to the association to hire every one of us, if at least 95% accept.
This is the only way they can immediately corner the HK market, and they do not mind paying for it with much better T&C's and a signing bonus much greater than the HKPA 'bonus'. It is not possible to have a corporate takeover of CX, which is why this is the only option.
The first year, many of us would not work much.... as this is a corporate move to take over capacity in HK, they have to acquire aircraft first... but that will be part of the plan with all of the CX aircraft just sitting around. Commuting contracts too!
The other option is to go on Strike.
However, if the AOA group says yes to this crap deal, there won't be many pilots left anyway.
