Any upgraded KA captain or newly hired KA pilot will be on a superior package than what the AOA was originally asking for.
Greater salary package.
EFP at 75 hours and HDP commencing at sign on.
A better, negotiated rostering practice (that ironically was won after years of contract compliance).
25 year mortgage.
Ability to re-mortgage.
10 weeks annual leave.
Guaranteed 13th month.
RA65 without having to sign any benefits away.
Child university education.
Trial work share arrangement.
And for many, a travel fund.
The Cathay pilot attrition rate in 2016 is nearly 50 percent higher than in 2015. Hard to imagine that this is a useful tactic to stop the bleeding.
Once again CX management show its nothing to do with money. It's all about loss of face and retention of a perceived power.
On another angle, it'd be interesting to know if the fuel hedging contract applied to the entire group or just Cathay Pacific.
Bit of miss inform there PW. That's the now defunct expat B package. New C scale very similar to CX C scale. New pilots and almost all command upgrades now C scale.
