Ladies and gents,
It is confirmed, we are being sold a lemon
1. This entire TA is about getting rid of the TB/CC forever.
2. The HKPA is a short term bribe to get a yes vote. Management think a yes vote is a slam dunk with this bribe .
3. Once the TA is voted in, over the next 2 years they will get an excess of trainers by 30/40% then go to hourly training pay, they will even take unsuitable trainers just to biuild up the numbers so that the TB can never be used again.
4. It is all about clause 7, everything else is smoke and mirrors.
5. Dragon already have an expansion plan ready to go and recruits selected and this will be announced after the TA yes vote or used as a we told you so if an unexpected no vote happens.
6. Dragon and Qantas cannot train us in significant numbers.
7. Cathay had a significant training shortfall before the TB.
8. There is no big stick if this gets voted down.
9. Clause 7 is so vague and one sided that almost anything can be interpreted as industrial action.
10. If anybody thinks that the CMC will be good for pilots then talk to plots in Emirates. Without any industrial defences we are in for a rude shock.
WE HAVE ALL BEEN WARNED!
