who said anything about us not getting 13th month? We have an operating profit. Not only that, we are putting huge sums in the bank. We would have to have the worst airline managers in the world to not be making money in Hong Kong.
We have a natural hedge built in with fuel surcharges. The reason the company hedges was to show that Hong Kong is not that profitable and to keep more airlines out of CX's own back yard (it's called strategy folks).
I think that most pilots do not really care, because they are jumping ship. That's sad. We already have given the company concessions over the last 10 years by not getting proper raises. What really floors me is why trainers are still training. They would have gotten a bigger payrise by all quitting simultaneously.
