Southwest Airlines $583 million profit share
 

SWA to share $583,000,000 profit share with employees. No Cathay - that doesn't mean $500,000,000 between the Directors and their cronies and the rest given to those at the sharp end using that good old formula "2 weeks salary or $500 whichever is less".
It doesn't mean that at all. :mad:

Off you go then.

I guess in your book. We just give up.

Not sure about give up. A pragmatic view would help however or you'll end up tilting at windmills. All (ALL) of the aviation jobs here are on varying "guest" (for want of a better word ), or in latter days, lep terms. We don't/ won't ever get close to the terms afforded by US carriers. Then again no one has been furloughed from CX either.
Horses for courses I would say.

Yup! And we didn't even get 13th month last year, or the year before that! How grim indeed ��
