SWH. That is EXACTLY as I see it, and that is EXACTLY as it is. The only thing left to conclude is what EXACTLY the abused and disrespected Captains of this airline are going to do about it? I am one of those, and I know EXACTLY what I am going to be doing. I hope all my other affected colleagues know EXACTLY what they will be doing also.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to conclude that if this aggression against us (and the whole pilot body effectively) goes unchallenged, then we are doomed. Both the Captains and all other ranks. There is NO CHOICE but to send our management a sharp message. A message that says we will not be treated in this way. Make up your minds people: take definitive action this holiday season (and for as long as necessary). If the aircraft continue to operate as normal, pretty soon the terms and conditions at HK Express will seem desirable.
This is the end-game. Don't doubt that. Yammer is indicating the will is there. Act now or accept the career is over.
