For those who need to read it again.
KA 13th month is CONTRACTUAL,
if CX 13th month is discretionary, I don’t know your contract as I don’t work for CX, you must accept that it is not paid if the airline is losing money.
That’s simple rule, management won’t attack contract until they have taken out all non contractual items.
I agree with the fact that the money was stupidly lost by bad choices and staff shouldn’t pay for that but stop saying we at KA have a 13th month and that’s unfair.
Our 13th month is UNDER OUR COS. They touch my COS I’ll be gone, not wasting my time blaming others on a forum.
