Your right it says much about the Swires and how they view the hired help. No doubt they miss the days where they could just force you to work. But the pilots are to blame too. This is what happens after a decade of no backbone. You get no respect.
I am ashamed of this group. I include myself too. We should have gone nuclear at the moment our contract was threatened. Like many with CX. I have no future with this lot. I will be departing in due time. That fortunately is still a alternative in this day.
