Sadly, Dragonair is now one of those airlines you come to only if you have to.

This new contract is a shafting. The Locals must be furious.

Oh and well done the rocket surgeon who wants to screw crew with drinking Chinese bottled water. What do you think that little item will cost the company in spite?

Evian

I seem to remember that Qatar sacked a Captain for drinking the company's Evian. That was the final straw for many and they are now leaving in droves!
Nice one whichever manager thought of stopping the nasty flight crew drinking the FCL and JCL pax's water. Wonder how much it will cost indirectly?

A choice of either Bonaqua or Evian. They are the standard beverages.

This is very stupid and the GMO should have a think about intervening. This middle management ill-will will put the workforce into a camouflaged work to rule. Stupid, stupid middle management!

Oh, and yes, I drank Perrier all day today. Five cans. That's a hell of a lot more expensive than my bottle of Evian.

Where's the accountability?

Ignoring fatigue and rest issues, screwing with COSs and trying to save a few cents on bl&@dy drinking water!! WTF??

Get rid of these mis-managers, they're doing nothing but harm.

84 hours

Where did you get the 84 hours from?
I agree that this contract is not worth the paper but can find the 84 hours.
This job is a job for cadets or unemployed. Don't think I have ever seen such bad contract from an airline before (contract jobs yes but not directly from an airline.)

I guess on the positive side...there is no HPS so they will not stick around for long...I guess 500 hours

Lots out there

Why put up with it ? There are some amazing deals flying in China. Once you get over he idea and talk to some of the expats there, you find out they are making great cash and flying less than us here in Hong Kong. Plus the salaries are Net, meaning when converted into home country taxed equivalents they are great contracts. Not only that but the check and training systems are on par or better than here !!

On my way !
