DS
Your my hero!
You are willing to resign from training !
About time ! Will other trainers follow ? Or will they not !
Me thinks NO
Perhaps DS , you can settle for next best , and write another letter! And you! DS can be the instigator !!

i wondered how DS was going to square that circle.
Training Captain DS wrote to Training Captain DN, President of HKALPA, instructing him to write to IFALPA asking member unions to not assist in training Cathay pilots. This was obviously very hypocritical given that both DS and DN were themselves assisting in training Cathay pilots (coz it's different issinit?).
DS apparently has done the right thing - legend- I wonder if DN will follow suit? After all, he presides over HKALPA which wrote to IFALPA.
That only leaves the DPA and Air Hong Kong to justify their position. They were parties to approaching IFALPA, yet their pilots assist in training Cathay pilots....also hypocritical.....

Staggers,
Yep... the HKAOA and DPA worked together last year. However, things have now changed. The DPA, as part of HKALPA, has written to IFALPA asking them to ask their member unions to deny training facilities, yet the DPA is providing training facilities. The DPA and HKAOA are a bunch of hypocrites.

How would you expect a KA trainer to refuse a rostered duty and keep their job? CX pilots are entitled to refuse training outside of Cathay but don't... we don't want to be training other airline crews.

TSIO540,
I think we are actually in agreement.
The short answer is that I do not expect a KA Trainer to engage in the "denial of Training Facilities" (to adopt the language of the IFALPA letter).
It would be incredibly two faced/weak/gutless for the HKAOA to expect the DPA (or any other union) to withhold Training when the HKAOA is not doing that themselves (rightly or wrongly?). However, that is exactly what HKALPA (which includes the HKAOA and DPA) are doing by requesting "denial of Training Facilities" from IFALPA member unions.
IMHO this reflects very poorly on us all. However, the Presidents of both the HKAOA or IFALPA really stand out as they signed the letters of request, yet they personally provide training facilities to Cathay. I bet they didn't mention that in the letters of request!!
Would it not be great if we could get others to fight our fights for us?

TB is effective all right, effective at screwing all the SOs and FOs. We're not even going to get an offer as good as the last one we turned down so this has all been a big waste of time. It's not a win if the AOA successfully blocks guys/girls getting an upgrade.

Xwnd - it's always about YOU. How you're hard done by simply by begging to scoff at the crumbs of a substandard package.... How the real pilots that you can never aspire to come close to matching in professionalism, maturity let alone airmanship fight for the long term betterment of the CX pilot body. Yes, the same one you begged to undermine via accepting a contract that placed undeniable pressure upon their long term security. But hey, it's all about YOU!
And you still wonder why ignorant brats like you are despised at CX? You represent all that is dispicable in our industry: self interest & greed.

Well, I'm in the AOA and pay them some of the "crumbs" I earn every month unlike some others who have been here for nearly 20 years then make a near death bed conversion.
China I bet you're a skipper right?

Xwnd - you'e only a member of the AOA to be seen as "one of the boys", nothing more. You've demonstrated your disapproval on their stance on CC and the TB, etc... The main issues of this and other threads. The AOA opposed your existence at CX due to C-Scale: the very lowering of credentials that you are. So it's ironic that you pay money to a body that a) opposed you being at CX and b) you oppose their direction and stance is laughable. I'm sure that percentage of your salary that is paid to the AOA won't make a different if a member of the GC puts 1 or 2 teaspoons of sugar of their soy latte tomorrow - but good of you for thinking you're one of the fellas!
Ice - how "wonderful" I am? That's a very colourful word! Am I "gleeful" and "exuberant" as well? Or did you we disturb you from a Judy Garland movie marathon? No, I never said my decision was "wonderful". I used experience, credentials and integrity to make my decision. I know my decision was the right one. Just as I know that submitting my bank details in response to email promising me a share in a lucrative gold mine in Africa is plain DUMB. Whilst C-Scale and such emails are the same, guys like Xwnd would still be running around Africa with a shovel in his hand getting angry about how he's been hard done by....

China,
So you're not in the AOA and you don't even work for CX, why are you even bothering to post anything here? You've got no dog in this fight and you have no idea what's going on. Really weird that you post such angry stuff and you don't even work here.

... you joined on C scale thinking you would get better terms and conditions later on in your career. Clearly you didn't do any research on the history between CX management and the AOA. Be grateful that you have a job and a steady income. But of course that is never enough for you young joiners, always fed with a silver spoon growing up and being impatient (I want, I want, I want now!)Also, now you have the audacity to say that the TB is "screwing all the SOs and FOs"
when you accepted the C scale offer in the first place. Get real!!

For the benefit of Mcnugget and xwind and all other 3 yr old new joiners
When PW ( a past president ) was voted in he immediately resigned from being a trainer
Thats integrity and not having a sandal in each camp.
