Great support from Dragon Air captains.. NOT

Cathay captains have had verbal and written support on various social media (yammer) from engineers and flight attendants BUT not a peep from our brothers at Dragon Air.

Apparently, DPA thinks their lot will be better if CX takes more from AOA pilots. That way there will be more crumbs left for them. Wise up!!!

I can't believe what I'm hearing here. Seriously? The DPA went to extraordinary lengths when this whole debacle began with advice, offers of assistance and confirmation of good intentions and was told from the outset by the AOA that we weren't needed. Now that things have deteriorated we're being abused for not stepping up? Where does this crap come from?

What's Yammer - that was only funny the first time. The same with A50.
Its like a child who repeats and repeats what was funny the first time and made you laugh but then you have to tell it to stop.

But please support the thread on Yammer, thanks.

Weary Traveller...really? You can’t see for yourself what’s going on and then act from your own volition?

If not, then stay in LNAV/NAV and keep flying toward that CB in the window...all will be fine.

Not asking for anything from the DPA. Just the odd Dragon Air captain to show support on yammer or other media for their fellow pilots. Everyone else has but nothing from Dragon Air captains shows their true colours.

To make a comment on Yammer, you have to be on Yammer. I think that's where the problem lies.

Yep - I think you will find Yammer is for CX staff only. Not exactly surprising that KA crew (cabin & cockpit) are not that active

Plenty active training CX Airbus JFOs from my understanding.

Folks,

The enemy is most certainly not across the road at KA. The enemy is directly in front of you.

Remain focused.

We are focused. If KA is not supporting our cause, then they are the enemy as well. It's about unity.

I certainly will not be approving any jumpseats, especially to/from Oz.

1. You’re winning, press home the advantage get your 13th month and get it put into your contracts while you have momentum. Don’t waste your energy starting a pointless battle when you’ve got a war to win.

2 We’re under no illusions regarding your management and now unfortunately ours.

3. How about telling your SO/JFO’s to refuse to come in the first place? Problem solved or too easy?

4. Shove your jump seats pal, not arsed.

If you want them to be active on Yammer, please first ask Cathay management to give them access & accounts...

Hey Panza , sorry I didn’t join yammer or the CX spouses Facebook page, I thought the AOA approach to the DPA to enter into contact compliance in support of your loss of housing was more pressing.

Any KA pilot who is industraillly smitten at the moment is about as stupid as the content of this post .

I expected a concurrent industrial campaign against both groups . Mutual support is inevitable even though slow coming about .

There’s been clever management politics played keeping the two groups apart for the last decade. As we are brought together it is going to be hard to share exact goals, so a framework and direction are going to be frail and easily broken . Wise up a little.

Yammer us for both airlines and there are a few KA guys on it - mostly managers. But there was prctically zero take up on launch. They're just not interested.
