The SCMP article is quite direct...and it would appear that the AOA is racing full speed toward the cliff edge....again.
Clearly, many have not learned.
I wonder if in six months there will be a "large" recruitment drive by the company to find more "compliant" flight crew?
Better they should start earlier.

Nope, not me either...You should be flattered, O one of little brains. It has been said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, although why anyone would aspire to your depths is beyond me.

mmmmm better start reading these things better...looks like a cheap union trick, they are always good at making things appear to be something they're not...like for example the recruitment ban...is it effective? doubt itdoes anybody care? doubt it

You have no idea either, do you?
You DO know that a Harley is also known as a "Gay Milk Float", don't you? Sort of sad that you need a motorcycle to define your persona.

NOT more $ ..... ,
That is their fight .. but from a pro point of view .... these guys are safe ! .....

Well oriental bloke, considering that I have operated aircarrier aircraft in the SE Asia area, including HKG, since 1974....I may well be older than....you.
Considering that the CX pilots are professionals....they sure do NOT act like same...at times. Their "cause" is dead as a doornail and CX management holds the upper hand...as it should be. Management run the company...pilots fly the aeroplanes, period. IF they don't like their conditions of service, they know where the door is, i'm sure.
Tough beans.
