CNN aired an interview, conducted by Dalton Tananaka, with Catahy Pacific spokesperson, Tony Tyler, today. During the interview, Mr Tyler stated that Cathay's operations were "back to normal" with an 86% on time departure.
He also said that the pilots' "go slow" (he avoided answering Mr Tananaka's question of "Aren't the pilots simply working to company rules?") was having no effect on CX, and is obviously not perturbed by the current action as he staed approximately ONLY FIVE TIMES during the 5 minute interview, that "CX might be willing to consider" (what sort of double double talk talk is that!) a return to the negotiating table if the pilots ceased their actions. It's quite obvious - from his persistent insistence - that the constant dripping of water IS wearing away the stone!
"The dispute is over!" (Bob Hawke, Australian P.M., 2 weeks into the 8 month 1989 pilots dispute.)
