The Appeal
From a recent DFO's newsletter;
I guess his masters didn't keep him in the loop. Notice of appeal has been filed at (of course) the 11th hour.
Do the boys in London tell you anything Nick? Or are you just there to get thrown under the bus when needed....
The headline news this week was, of course, the decision in the High Court on the 49ers case against the Company for unfair dismissal and defamation. The decision went against the Company and credit is due to the 18 plaintiffs and their legal teams for a case well fought.
I would like to think that, after eight long years, this means that we have reached the end of the road in this particular dispute and that everyone involved will be allowed to achieve some form of closure.

Poor Nicky's ability to juggle with knives, flaming torches and chainsaws is really getting tested. The next newsletter should make for some fascinating reading.
"I would like to think that, after 3 long weeks, this means that we have reached the start of a new road towards a renewed dispute and that everyone involved has enjoyed their short-lived closure."

Yet to hear it officially, but surely you didn't believe Rhodes when he talked about putting it all behind us, did you?
Typical crap - give the people an ounce of hope......
He knew EXACTLY what was going to happen.
Closure is firmly in the company's hands.

This will obviously help the work load with the legal department within CX City! If they are farming it out, I would like to know where, so I can buy some shares as they are going to be having some very healthy invoices posted to CX very shortly. 49ers appeal!, SO bypass appeal!, FO case & labour tribunal, Cabin Crew and leave!, etc, etc. This is only there staff let alone suppliers and people who fall down!!
CX YOU BRING IT ON YOURSELF! What a bunch of F-----s.

We are paying for the appeal with your 13th month and SLS contributions. Some are still paying the CPU, which means less money for you. Our aim to keep you poor and will have to work longer for less pay. Most buy into our propaganda every time. Thanks for helping out.
Now go back to work and help out where you can i.e. extending duty, reduce rest, using discretion on tight FTL patterns, working on G days, answering your phone, etc, etc, etc.
Who has the small brain and short memories?
No one from The CPG Group is being investigated for perjury.
Have a Merry Christmas and to your large tax bill. We in Management will have a Jolly Old Christmas with our bonuses.
Those that have to be away from home this Christmas, remember that you will receive an extra dinner allowance, treat yourself while we will be home with our Families.

Which was it ???
So it was originally for "no particular reason" then it was for "union activities" and now it is because of "sickness"I think this is not only outrageous continued harassment of the 49ers, but in addition is also very very troubling tact they are taking.
Can you imagine the increased pressure to work whilst sick should this argument win ?? Here we are in a country that is paranoid over H1N1 and perhaps rightly so, and one of it's major employers seeks to pressure employees to come to work sick, a work unlike many others, that WILL bring in viruses from around the world.
Not to mention that piloting an aircraft with illness or injury DOES reduce your performance level in the cockpit, thereby reducing the safety of the flight the sick pilot operates.
I for one am already tired of Pilots bringing their sickness to work and infecting those they work with.
CX you had better have a think about the message this appeal strategy will send to the Hong Kong government, and the traveling public.
Peace out

You forgot to mention it's illegal too - minor point I know.

It never ceases to amaze me the depths to which NR and TT etc will sink. Were they not humiliated or humbled the first time in court? When is it that a person actually relinquishes all sense of decency and humanity in pursuit of power and greed? I'm not a religious man but I hope one day they are judged for what they have done. How do their families live with such despicable people?
I hope the judge firmly puts both them and this case down where it belongs.... Of course, in Hong Kong where money overrides both decency and justice I guess anything could happen.
I dislike this place a little more every day.

There is no power willing to check them. Clearly, the pilot group is not up for it, so we are left with the courts to fight our battles for us. Kind of a bad position to be if the courts are pro-management.
