Read between the lines and understand who wants what and why. The answer will be clear on which way to vote. As Curtain Rod said, start at the back and realize nothing is solid except for what is meaningless to both sides. Its about rostering practices and that is the biggest thing we are giving up if we vote yes. No more court cases with respect to cancelling RP07 you are essentially accepting RP15 with a few definitions re worded.
Of course they want the training ban and CC removed for the period of time they have stipulated as it will get them out of the woods as far as training needs. Will anything change with respect to fatigue and rostering that isn't already being done now....No,
The only thing you get is HKPA but that in itself will naturally inflate anyway.
Instinct says NO. Its not a fair deal. Tempting for the HKPA lot, but for everyone else there is nothing substantial for the pineapple.
HKPA guys I assume will vote yes for the short term gain and be conflicted over the RP's. I guess this was the best strategy.
The rest of the guys will be split so there is a good chance of getting 51% YES and that is all they want and the battle will be lost for a long time.
Just re-read the 49rs case summary and its amazing how the same cycle has repeated itself. From introducing a sickness management program to escalating pressure beyond CC and TB. The only difference is the company are actually negotiating with the union still. Its amazing how if you just use a band aid to temporarily fix a problem. That the problem will come back again. Hence History Repeating.
