It's not the same at all as the Cathays can't afford to lose any pilots. They need more than the current numbers to keep the operation going and to fulfil the expansion plans. If they offer lower remuneration, you have the choice to accept the new terms - or leave. If too many leave, then they will have torevisit the Ts and Cs.
They are hoping that not too many will leave for their plans to work. The way I see it, with the numbers already deciding it's time to move on without knowing the terms of the lower offer, it's never going to work.
It's market forces. The market is not in their favour.
