Gentlemen. CX is currently trying to force through a 'negotiation', that they anticipate will lock in further reductions to the employment package that they have with their aircrew. Don't fall for their pathetic, worn and manipulative stories. Have a read of the following article, and ask yourself if you think it likely that CX won't be suffering from the same problem very soon. That is why they are desperate to get concessions now: because quite soon they will be begging for pilots. Reject any concessionary contract. Don't be fearful of their threats. We have the upper hand and their days of compromising our careers are coming to an end.
