Cathay Dragon crews are helping the company in these difficult times.
A 75% vote to accept an indefinite pay freeze . The agreed freeze is until March 2018 but we know that's not the end of it. Give ' em an inch ....
Local contract guys did ok. Increased levels of child education subsidy and an offer to move over to standard contract therefore allowing those on local B increased housing AND full educational subsidy.
You've gotta laugh though. At what point will management engage in meaningful pay negotiations when they pilot body are such an easy push over ? Just offer another pay freeze in 2018-19, in return the company will look into the pilots medical insurance, salary claims, overnight allowances blah blah.
It will happen, mark my words. And meanwhile inflation continues its inexorable erosion of KA pilots real salary value.
