Trafalgar,
As has been said above, staff travel is a company wide perk to all under the CX banner, it's not specific to pilots, the KA groundstaff all got under that banner when CX purchased them years ago and those that joined KA before you and I have been ahead of us in priority for some years now. The fact that CX chose to leave the Cathay Dragon cockpit and cabin crew out and use staff travel as a bargaining tool is typical of CX, and now has some pilots against pilots, it's not a pilot only benefit it's a Cathay Pacific group benefit, which they can amend however they see fit. Our contract says we get access to staff travel it doesn't say we get any say in how it functions which is also why the AOA or any union has no say in the matter either. There's some 25,000+ people who have access to the staff travel system, I'm not sure why you think pilots get to make policy on staff travel?
