If you read "The 49ers" you will realize Hong Kong is run by big business , and Swire is one of the biggest. They don't even have to tear up contract's, they can just ignore then with no consequence.

FAc6, sandwiches gone because the Canadian AOA demanded they be removed and substituted with a third meal for their members. So the remaining 90% of crew get what the 10% decide.
Just the beginning.
BTW We had neither sandwiches or 3rd meal loaded.

so, because of gross.... nobody considers bringing this up to a manager, to have them replaced by delicious sandwiches? Now, you want to scrap them? What happens if there is a delay, and everybody gets hungry? Do you think anyone will go into discretion without sandwiches to tide them over? In every port besides Hong Kong, the sandwiches are good.... and useful, and they are all eaten normally.
Back to tearing up contracts.... if they do, I have a few spare ones printed out to show them what I signed.

Tearing up contracts
Reading this thread I wonder when the mass exodus will begin from CX. If it is so bad how is it that anyone is left in the employ of CX?

Who needs three meals on an 11 hour flight! Jeez! I hardly eat one! I do love those yummy HKG sandwiches. Mmmmh! What the hell are they? I think they're stuffed with catfood.

The solution to such widespread idiocy, incomprehension of responsibility/duty, and lack of teamwork is simple: Just like in a freighter, before pushback, go right into the galley yourself and stick your meal in the oven for 25 mins, and go get your own meal at TOC along with whatever else you want, whether the SP (or ISM) likes it or not. When they threaten to "report" your behaviour, invite them to send it right to the head of corporate safety, where it will be right along side your report about the cabin crew causing pilot discomfort, distraction and frustration that interfered with the normal operation of the a/c.
You can also take a moment to remind them who is in charge of them, the pax and the a/c, too. If we stopped accepting such disrespect and arrogance from the unskilled labourers (duh: seat belt enforcers/food and drink servers/potential door openers) things like this would stop happening.

Fac6,
So, you're either the FO or the Captain. Whose lack of bal*s resulted in an unsuccessful outcome?
No wonder the AOA (we) is impotent. No one is willing to stand up for what is right.
Sickeningly sad...

On the contrary, it would appear the Canadian AOA does have the ability to work for its members so hats off to them. Yes, before you all bleat, they do have Canadian employment law on their side.

I had a Wanchai Sandwich recently, there was a contractual arrangement and no breach of turns and positions. I was not forced to put my own bun in the oven, but I did stir my own fluids on numerous occasions. Sandwiches are important.
THE GREAT SANDWICH DEBACLE - its as good as the "staff bus," I mean, "crew bus," carfuffle at Terminal Two. Queuing with the Office plebs after 12 hrs in an Aluminium tube, or trying to get to sign on at the same time, with NO priority for crew. The dogs tail gets bigger everyday and wags the dog more so.
Just another tangent.

Absolutely spot on IS, couldn't have put it better myself.

Iron S, my point was they do all they can for their members, even at the expense of other factions of the AOA. If you were in the AOA you'd also be aware of the recent ruling by the canadian labour court against CX regarding the use of its D & G procedure. Ask a GC member about it.
