I would have lost money. With Clause 7 effectively making the HKAOA an impotent, toothless video club, the Company would have been free to do what they like, safe in the knowledge there could be no union pushback.
There is no way the company would have honoured the 2.5% payrise in May. Let's get real, they couldn't have made 600 people redundant and then given the pilots a payrise at the same time. Clause 7 wasn't linked to them honouring their side of the bargain. Zapp's right, they could choose to not honour their side of the bargain, but each one of was still liable to be sued if we complained when they breached.
It was an unfair and lopsided deal and got what it deserved.
