That sounds like a great idea. CX bought out KA in 2006 I think, so all KA employees should be below the most junior CX employee on that date.

Where did you dig that ****?
I haven't read what you're writing in the communication we received from the DPA.
What I understand with the proposal is that pilots from the group should be offered any job opening in the 4 airlines before external recruitment.
HKE hired pilots 3 months ago and they will keep there jobs when you might be sacked after 20 years of work with KA, same applying for CX.
KA is not fighting against CX or any other airline owned by Swire but our union is suggesting a fair approach to dismissal and recruitment across the group.
I don't think KA is more at risk than CX for redundancies, If China open the gates we're back flying. CX will need many travel bublles before it can resume operations

Agreed, at least the DPA is doing SOMETHING! Whether it is right or wrong???
The HKAOA is paralyzed between the interests of expats and the prodigal children who want their inheritance early.

The poker analogy is apt. Either they are hopeless poker players, or they are throwing the "hail mary" pass in the dying seconds of the football game. I do particularly like the "transfer to another group airline on original COS" and "no COS changes for KA pilots". Ballsy. Ultimately, I think it demonstrates the desperation that is prevalent in their ranks.

I guess you forgot CX cancelled the recognition and GFBA agreements with the HKAOA. As such, the HKAOA really does not represent the CX pilots on contractual or other issues anymore. CX can, after the 90 day cancellation period is completed, bargain with the CX pilots directly.
If HKE is going to be the big winner taking narrow body flying, why wouldn't the DPA try and secure transfers for possible redundant pilots? From what I've read here over the years, that option would be beneath CX pilots.

The source would be the "Proposals to Cathay Dragon" document dated September 10 by the DPA. (the one that is not endorsed confidential or copyright, and has done the rounds on social media, no point trying to deny it does not exist).
The DPA proposal advocates
- no forced redundancies for KA pilots
- no COS changes for KA pilots
- $65,000 pm allowances while on SLV
- transfer to another Group airline on current COS
- original group date of joining in new Group airline for salary and benefits
- seniority based on years of service in CX group
- 18 months pay plus 3 months housing for voluntary separation

has come back to bite them in the ass now. "You reep what you sow".
You've been consistently wrong, in what were not inside snippets, but predictions intent on unsettling or inflaming. Here you go again- this is just another example.
Whatever will happen has nothing to do with with where the HKAOA/ DPA relationship sits now or previously. Personally, I never understood why we were not closer, in better days when our expansion was seeing very rapid commands. But as with the DPA probably pursuing HKE narrow body slots for redundant pilots, the CX union has had little interest in narrow body flying for members.

What good does the DPA have going after any slots with HKE? Last I heard was 60 something CPT and FO in training there, all 321 to Alice and one route with 3 flights a week. That sounds like slots are filled for the foreseeable future.

Who cares what the dpa proposed.... fact is, the company has a very good idea of what they need to do by now, and it will be done, regardless of any proposal put forward by either the aoa or dpa.
