I do hope you are not a CX pilot
..... "only 18" because only those 18 participated. The short answer is the rest settled with the company out of Court.
No doubt there are longer answers about....

A good day
This is just a good day - for Hong Kong, for those of us who want to life in a place where justice prevails (even if very slowly), but most of all for the courage perseverance and tenacity of those 18 men. The sniping between the AOA and its detractors is irrelevant, tonight at least.
HK$3.5 million is a lousy return for 8 years of loss of a career and rejection by many in the aviation world - the ones who took the CX offer probably are better off financially but not morally. It is not every day that a bunch of determined guys probably destroy the career of a DFO, witness his predecessor "chicken out" of facing the court and see ridicule poured on a previous CEO.
Sure, CX might appeal - but it will be purely for face if they do and I suspect they will let it rest in the hope of short memories. They have got out of this lightly as far as money is concerned.
But tonight congratulations to those 18 guys who deserve unreservedly to enjoy the moment.

(pending the inevitable appeal)
The money value in the judgement might not be that significant, but the publicity is PRICELESS!!
Well done to the 18 and their lawyer, you will go down in history as " The A-TEAM-EIGHTEEN "

Refunds
Congratulations to JW, QH and their 16 supporters. It took them eight years to defend OUR contract and right to unionism.
As for Mr "blade" and his refunds, I am sure you could come to some arrangement. Compare your last eight years remuneration package with CX to the 49ers, deduct the HK$ 3.5 M and your two years of contributions (what happened to the other six?) and settle up the difference.

Well, well. It would seem that the harsh light of justice is now burning to ash those contemptible individuals who created so much misery and anguish. I hope that every one of the managers who took part in this travesty will be walking through 'The Street' tomorrow with a suitable look of shame about them. What you did was nothing less than what the Nazis regularly did to their opponents. Without any regard for due process, morality or semblance of fairness, you deliberately set out to destroy the careers and very lives of people who had been nothing more than loyal employees. You abused your power, and caused very grave harm to a group of people who deserved better. Never mind the anguish and harm caused to their wives and children. Although CX was the named and shamed party in this judgement, it is really the individuals who took part in this shameful episode that are to blame. The irony is that it is those contemptible individuals that should be now subject to D&G's and then summararily dismissed.

Well said OCD. Congratulations to the "18" and all those who stayed the course and supported what CPU and professional aviation should stand for:

Wonder how the "king of crew control" Mr Sherman Lam feels after the Judge totally disregarded his puerile and vindictive evidence with the disdain it deserved.
Then again Mr Lam was really no more than a management GIMP, a bit like the fall guy at Ernst Young who altered and forged audit papers.
