I don't wish to stir the pot but I have noticed that housing allowances have been upped from $20 250 to $20 750!

Think that will change 1 July?:D :confused:

caviar...ie we can no longer give a rational explanation for the unthruths stated so lets just go quiet for a while and hope the storm passes. Is this how the AOA wishes to be seen to the general flying population? For god's sake can someone with a bit of grey matter post without the myopic perspective of Hoffa's long lost relative.....again I say...I thought we were supposedly a well educated/professional group of individuals who enjoyed getting a bit of space between us and terra firma......where has that gone?

Whoop whoop!!
Be aware of STOCKHOLM SYNDROME
That bad ol' company not looking so bad now??
Whoop whoop!!!

Of course I believe in the tooth fairy, ye gods I am the tooth fairy - at least for my family. Only last month put a very small silver coin under daughters pillow after she lost her tooth. And I perpetuate Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny - for my family. Yours must have a rather dreary time Frank, lighten up mate. Anyway are the agreements cancelled or moved?

Oh I see now, the fact that the new arrangements in Company 'Policy' are equal to or better than those previously in place of course has no relevance. Not cancelled, moved, my statement is still correct. But don't worry, your union will screw things up worse yet - you just stay faithful to your cause. 'I'm a union man, I'm proud of what I am. I say what I think that the Company stinks yes I'm a union man'. Welcome to the new world.

The wording of the letters was as follows:

"In accordance with section 5.1 of the Agreement this letter is to give the Hong Kong Aircrew Officers Association notice of Cathay Pacific Airways Limited’s intention to terminate the Agreement at the end of the period of validity (as defined in the Agreement). As such the Agreement will terminate with effect from 1st July, 2002."
