Ok it's a UK survey but......

Bosses 'do not deserve bumper pay packets', study finds - BBC News

See any similarities? I particularly like the number 350 quoted.

If their idea of a 'strategy' is to attack their employees further, then they can expect a fight to the bitter end. These people (Swires) are beyond belief and contempt.

Trafalgar:

I think that will be exactly their strategy, dressed up with pure BS because they don't know anything else.

When you say "fight" you mean the CX pilot version?

Whine, whinge, then take the crap offer and "fight" another day.

Do you want fries with that?

I see the HEDGEHogg is proposing to improve the inflight catering proposition (WTF does that mean?) by offering fries with the burger snack. I just hope nobody wants extra salt on the fries... Cannot!!

Cathay Pacific... Life well travelled (with additional fries)

None of the "350" will stand and be counted. They all go along with Swire Elite because their own future is at stake. Quite how the "Fuel Hedge" team got on trying to explain away a public humiliation I can only imagine but the course of Cathay Pacific Airways was locked down in the early '90's and has not changed since then.
Why? Because they don't give a stuff about the "millionaire morons" (sic) and their moaning. As long as they can fill their cockpits with qualified people why should they worry. They have almost certainly costed in a hull loss and are prepared to take the excellent odds that it won't affect them or their families personally.
"Safety is our Number One priority".
Yeh - right!

...and how will the "350" be motivated to deliver the new strategy? By being offered bonuses for any short term productivity gains they can squeeze out of their minions of course.

This "airline" needs "airline" people, not musical chair puppets.

Can someone call Gordon? We really could use him.

"Do you want fries with that?" is not a sentence one normally associates with refinement and luxury...

But I don't get a bonus, so what do I know?
