Those of us who have been here a long time have seen all this before. The company will next put an article in the SCMP disclosing the average salary a CX pilot gets per year. They will base this figure on the most senior captain in the company and the figure will include housing, education, 13th month, overtime etc etc. The article will say the 3.3 million dollars is what pilots make at Cathay. When this article goes to press ( and it will ) the general HK public will have zero sympathy for our cause. In fact you will be challenged in bars and clubs by strangers who will think you are greedy over paid etc etc.
I personally don't care what they think but a media war cannot be won in HK. So let's just do want we can to save our careers.
