Pay Rise - The Benchmark Is Set.

[Pucka]

There are a heap of jobs out there..ones that don't ligature your self respect..ones that leave you in the most part to fly as you were trained..but they may not pay the coin..in the end..you have to decide whether its worth flying that Otter in PNG or the 777 for some sheik in the smaller Emirates..either way, if you stay, button the lip.Its your choice to be in HKG..if you can't handle it, ...and forget the AOA..man up or sod off..easy street decision.

Borderline poetic my friend:-

..man up or sod off...

Never seen it put better, may have to use that an irritating number of times

And if you think the grass is greener

Emirates just announced no profit share.

In relation to the topic, does anybody know what the recruitment department of Jetstar HK are offering for TC/Capt/FO for this start up venture? A reliable source says 3000 applicants!

COS have been posted a couple of times in the relevant thread.

Man up or sodoff?

So you advice is to "pucker" up and take it with a smile on your face?

that's exactly what he is saying. Be a man about it. This is not, and never has been, the mom and pop shop down the street.

You're playing with grown-ups now and you've signed a contract. They put the cash into your account every month, and you take whatever gets them off with a smile. Freedom is never more than 3 months away.

But as a wiser man than me wrote.....freedom's just another word for nothing left to loose.

Why, oh why, for the love of all that is right and Holy in the world, can people not figure out the difference between "lose" and "loose" AAARRRGGGHHHHH

[boocs]

Sounds like you are about to loose the plot Ash!!

Keep in mind most of us barely have a high school diploma. Then again, making small houses big and big houses small isn't exactly rocket surgery.

[White None]

Why oh why indeed Ash

I think it's possibly because sometimes the intended "Lose" becomes a "Loose" or even a "Lo..ooooh aaah ooze" as we pucker up and take it?

pathetic views, mainly posted by managers to lower the expectations of most. 30% is not even close over 3 years. Needs to be a minimum 50% for this job to be viable anymore. In addition, massive increases in non salary items will be required such as displacement pay, rigs, proper leave credit credit, crewing of flights ( ie two captains, and two FO's for JFK, ORD, YYZ, LHR), defining of seniority issues in detail, and also the addition of another printer in dispatch for the 2700+ employees who use them. Why work in Hong Kong when you can go home and work for more bling - aviation, or not!

That's the very question your managers are asking. Our problem is the answer.

[ASH1111]

I say we start a collection fund for a new printer in Dispatch. Sorry dEspatch.

I'm in for 100 Honkies.

Serious Cathay, times are not that tough.
