what are we worth?
To all my fellow crew members.
This deal does not address the reason we went into CC and the TB in the first place. The language in the agreement is so loosely worded that it is open to abuse and, based on history, abused it will be.
25 year housing was agreed to in 2008 in exchange for SLS, that empty promise is 8 years old and has still not been honored. Why this two year trial? Any lawyer would laugh at the verbiage contained in this document. The company is bound by nothing but we are forbidden from using any of the levers that got us to this point in the first place.
What you all need to ask yourselves is "Will our current industrial measures achieve our desired goals?" ie a proper contract
If the answer is yes, reject the deal and bide your time. Are you prepared to escalate? I would bet that most are not, I have been here long enough to understand the spinelessness of a Cathay pilot.
I'm voting no. I would rather stick to the status quo than sign a deal that takes away all our leverage.
