Sucked in!
The selfish among you (majority?) will think that this is a good idea............and backwards your terms and conditions will continue to go until as a group you start thinking about the legacy that you leave the next generation. Management do what they are paid to do and pilots will continue to screw pilots............rinse and repeat.

How do you come to that conclusion?!
I would say, that it shows that the company is financially still strong and wants to try to motivate staff.
No reason that anyone should even be thinking that the 13th month is at risk.

Please tell me again why there are any pilots working at CX on less than A scale terms and conditions?

fl610,
I just looked at the thread again. My response was to the "free flights = no 13th month" comment. I totally agree with you, that we continually screw it each other over and do managements job for them.
There is no reason why we should not receive a 13th month. Those of you that were around in 2003 for SARS will know what an airline on the brink looks like. A year or so of that would have sunk this ship.
The present predicament has the potential to get nasty but is still a very long way off in terms of sinking the airline. Most of my flights are full and there are no parked jets. Definitely was not the case in 2003.

Hydrolix. Simply put, CX would be inviting epic chaos to their operation if they cheated their employees out of their 13th month. Never mind that our cousins at KA will of course be getting theirs (smiles all around in dispatch), but it would be on the backs of several years of no pay raise, increased costs and generally another kick in the teeth to people who largely are just looking for that reason to move on anyway. Considering that the company will come close to an overall profit, and probably actually declare one, there is no reason at all to hit the employees in such a way. If they are foolish enough to go down that road again, I'll enjoy a month off dealing with my "tennis elbow" for one.

The "Legacy De Jour" is that of a LCC HK Express (i.e. not even KA).

This should absolutely not be discussed. This is like responding to a company survey; it gives them a free insight to their employees’ mindsets. There’s nothing anyone who posts on here actually knows about the 13th month so there’s no point throwing away useless comments which may be used against all of us. Shhhhhhhhhhhh

What...Give away nearly 10% of your salary for free flights?
Why not give away another 10% of your salary for free food on flights and another 10% for free uniforms?
What about 10% of your salary for free Hotels at outports while on duty?
How about giving yet another 10% of your salary to boost bonuses for Personnel, Financial and Flight Operations Directors as well?
How stupid and how low does the intelligence and commonsense of pilots have stoop to satisfy those who will manipulate you?
