MONSTER 330........... see post #15..... That's my reason. I should be a captain by now. Shoot me .

[Sqwak7700]

The real reason is "lack of spine", be man enough to admit it.

This affects your career. I'm not trying to tell you to vote a certain way, but make your decision based on thought and facts, not emotion (ie, fear).

Sorry for the hijack, back to topic...:O

[iceman50]

Slagging off again Sqwak.

Notice you did not give your DOJ or rank!:rolleyes:

[advisory]

AOA members would have an email by now - "Improvements to CoS 08" ratified by a 88% margin of those who voted.

The changes will supposedly incorporated into the CoS 08 document for people to consider before the deadline.

FACT......... you can't trust the Company when they say "no retributions". But I thank you for your opinion. Back to topic.

GMA Update 15MAY09

With only a few days to go before the close of the SLS/COS 08 election I am pleased to hear that the HKAOA membership has successfully ratified the improvements to COS 08. The improvements have been discussed at length in both company and HKAOA communications. The agreed changes to COS 08 are attached (https://iconnect.cathaypacific.com/f5-w-H687474703a2f2f696e74726163782e636174686179706163696669632e6 36f6d$$/ix/fop/team/news/gmtupdates/CoS08%20Improvements.pdf) for perusal and are fully expected to form part of COS 08. I use the word expected only because the improvements have always been subject to the HKAOA’s success in promoting widespread support for SLS within their membership. Over the past few weeks the company and HKAOA representatives have enjoyed a progressively better understanding and a more positive working relationship, nevertheless the fact remains that when the DFO first agreed to enter into negotiations on the broad principles established more than a month ago, it was on the strict understanding that the HKAOA would promote widespread support for the corporate scheme. With current sign up levels significantly behind those of other employee groups, that goal is yet to be achieved. I remain hopeful that it will be achieved in the remaining days. As a reminder, the deadline for the SLS election is 18th May at 12:00 midday.

I wish to reiterate that those who have already elected for SLS and COS 08 will receive exactly what has been promulgated through the election process. There will be no grab back of contracts or advertised retained benefits. The ratified improvements to COS 08 will however, as has been made abundantly clear in previous communications, only be fully implemented if the support of the HKAOA membership is forthcoming. I understand why there may be some angst about electing for a contract with improvements that may not be fully implemented. Equally there is some angst on the Company’s part, regarding the delivery of a level of support which, for the moment, appears at best elusive. With other staff groups posting SLS acceptance rates of almost 100%, I certainly hope that we, as pilots, can show that we are prepared to strongly support our Company through these difficulties. It would be wrong to leave that role to others to perform on our behalf.

further to my previous post;
