CX raiding your mailbox

[Fenwicksgirl]

Word hot off the grape vine, CX staff are opening flight crew mailbox's to retrieve the letter the AoA sent out the other day.
Just had a call from a mate there at the moment, telling me there are some peeved pilots watching this go on as we speak!!!
What does that do for our privacy act????????

[Night Watch]

Call your mate back and tell him to take a photo with his phone..... evidence.

[Fenwicksgirl]

Already gone. I guess they have CCTV there dont they!!
What was in the letter?? I havent been there for a few days, must have been juicy!!!!

[fire wall]

You sure it isn't cx opening the mailbox so as to transfer contents to new mailboxes that are progressively being installed. Less alarmist and a more plausible explanation don't you think?

[coded_messages]

Also had a mate there today who came from a flight and he saw them removing the AOA letters - He saw one of the Admin girls even telling this to a guy.

[fire wall]

I stand corrected, and alarmed !

[Hoofharted]

You may find somewhere in the fine print that the management reserve the right to do what the fvck they like with your mail box when said mailbox is provided by the company. Nothing new there, most large companies have this right.

[coded_messages]

One would assume CX would state that they are CX owned mailboxes, on CX property etc. so have every right to access them blah blah.

[TheHKAOA]

It's Just More Intimidation

it is merely another example of the union bust and intimidation that started in 2001. Deny the right to contact aircrew. Phone or email the AOA office for a copy of the letter. Same letter was put in cabin attendants mail boxes and in the KA aircrew and cockpit crew mail boxes. KA are allowed to access all mail boxes - well at least for now they are.

fockers

I hope my dildo is still there......

Resource mismanagement. I hope the have fun with what ever they took from my mail box, just as long as they put it back when they're done.....

[controlledCHAOS]

They are technically "their" mailboxes. Just like the email address...it belongs to Cathay. They can read and/or take anything they want.

We all signed the disclosures.

[Blogsey]

This sounds fishy to me.
The letter was quite ummmm neutral? It mentioned all the unions working together WITH THE COMPANY to get through tough times. I'm not sure why the company would remove them.....

[Fenwicksgirl]

Same think i thought Blogsey. Did seem to be a bit of an olive branch from the 4 unions. Apparantly CX pilots were singled out in this, other groups still have their letters!!!
I think more the point is DFO has made it clear he is threatened by the growing strength of the AoA and is trying to hinder that!!!!

[CXChildLabour]

What they removed was the AOA application form, trying to prevent contact with the new guys, ops normal for this company.

[Voiceofreason]

I hear that it's actually to do with the AOA not being granted access to the mailboxes by the Company. AOA have the noticeboard in return for not being able to put mail in our boxes.

DFO probably freaked out...!

[Kitsune]

Then mail it with a stamp and a sealed envelope. Even in a mickey mouse place like Hong Kong stealing sealed mail addressed to someone else is a criminal offence.

[FlexibleResponse]

Hmmm...interference with personal mail...interference with a union to prevent communication with its members in Hong Kong...

Skating on very thin legal ice...as usual?

[jonathon68]

A copy of the letter in question (and application forms etc) are pinned to the AOA notice board in the mailbox room, so this is hardly a big deal. You could also go to the AOA website to "check it out" (if you are a member).

I think they are transferring things from the old mail boxes to new mail boxes at the moment, so this is probably a case of paranoia.

Dont you guys read your Notice's to Crew???

[Harbour Dweller]

It's very simple to tell if the Company has deliberately removed the AOA notice.

The office girls may be removing mail from mailboxes that are yet to be changed to the newer type.

Any mailbox from 1 to 1300 has already been changed over to the new type.

No mail from the AOA should have been removed from these NEW mailboxes unless it is a deliberate act by Cathay management.

[ALPHA FLOOR]

I saw NR with my own eyes in the mailbox room today - what business he has there I dont know.
