Reading this to find out more about the "management" that we are presently negotiating with for our lives.
It doesn't look like ethics or values are words in their vocabulary.

Must read for everyone:

The 49ers II -The Rest of the Story - Kindle edition by John Warham. Professional & Technical Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com. The 49ers II -The Rest of the Story - Kindle edition by John Warham. Professional & Technical Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com.

Just purchased the book on iBooks. Guys and girls, please, BUY a copy of the book. Not only is it important to completely and deeply understand the "nature of the beast" that we work for (especially now), but it is also a moral imperative to support those that paid a heavy sacrifice in every area of their lives. That sacrifice has bought all of us the ability to face down the immoral people at the heart of this travesty, and hopefully hold them to account in future negotiations. For the price of a couple of beers in Wanchai, PLEASE show some solidarity with all those that genuinely suffered on our behalf, and BUY THE BOOK. Please, everyone......buy a copy. The more the book is out there, the more light is shone on the creatures that caused so much misery and injustice.

Perfect timing, just in case anybody had forgotten exactly who we are dealing with here.

Excellent and, quite frankly, required reading for anyone involved in this circus.

I click on the Facebook link that takes you to Amazon, it says that price info is not available? I want to download it to my iPad kindle app, any tips? I don't see anywhere on Amazon that I can download it from?

in my case go to Amazon.com.au
Then select Kindle store ( in the search box )

Then search for the book. I searched for 49ers 2

It should come up quickly.

http://www.amazon.com.au/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Ddigital-text&field-keywords=49ers+2
Just checked and it comes up in the Amazon.com store as well. $28

Cool, worked out my Luddite moment. For AU based people you've got to go to the .com.au site!

Must Read

All CX and KA pilots need to read part 2. It is up to date with current issues like the cancelling of RP's at CX. Cost - one ( small) round of drinks!!

Apart from education, it's a great read. Go and download a copy.

Congratulations John! Another very well written insight into the despicable way in which CPA manages it's employees and the other assorted googlies life throws at you. Couldn't put Part II down and had it knocked off overnight.

Mandatory reading for all, particularly those employed post 2001.

Best of luck to both of you with your move to Thailand - you deserve it!

Gawd, here we go again. If you wankers feel so hard done by, show you have knackers, and quit. But no, you all stay on and spew your discontent.

Seniority

One quickly reaches a point in life when one can't quit. Seniority prevents that. It means that we have to take the pineapples. The trick is to get on the seniority list with a decent company. Fear of dismissal prevents many from growing a pair and fighting the company. We too should be moving towards strike action….
