Dear Anna

You seem very fond of quoting "Industry Standard" as an excuse for reducing our CoS, salaries, housing etc. Have you considered charging passengers for each check in bag? Perhaps HKD$100 for the first bag and then HKD$200 for any subsequent bag? This could replace the fuel surcharge you tried so hard to hang on to. If you are wondering how much such a bag surcharge might make, watch this video:

Cut and paste into your browser. Sorry. Related aviation content from 6:30.

Anna: That would make you far more than the 10% you are looking to steal from me.

Sincerely

ARSE

Anna,

you are a naughty little girl, aren't you?!

This airline will be annihilated before end of the year.

Merry Xmas,

Your trainers.

Now that is funny. The best thing one could do is leave. Just pick up your life and leave. I know I am.

Dear colleagues,

please find attached this 'HOW TO' for the weeks ahead:

1.) Identify convenient duty day to call UNFIT DUE FATIGUE ( lack of sleep due stress)

2.) Call unfit on chosen day 2 hours before sign-on

3.) Fax ASR-F form to CX and CAD( optional)

4.) Repeat step 1-3 as required

Or just continue to show up at work fully lubed up ( bring Anna's pineapple).

Anna,

there is not an ounce of confidence left in you.

Everything that comes from your desk is mendacious and harmful, increasing the level of stress on our flightdecks to unprecedented levels. There is an accident waiting to happen.

You failed miserably , Anna.

You need to go.

I wouldn't want to be a passenger booking travel over the holiday season. I think it is going to be a bad flu season.

You’ve gone to far Anna. Enjoy the show.

The AOA just called her bulls**t on the Article she quoted.
I've never ever worked for a major airline where that the DFO, fleet office, GMO and GMF actively go out of their way to screw their subordinates!
BTW AT, you want to save some money? don't send 2 x Captains to do a delivery flight! These flights are prefect to work out the crew composition savings of 2 SO's instead a plane full of passengers

Dear Anna,

enjoy the last couple of weeks of your employment, since the traveling public in HK will soon demand your scalp after massive flight disruptions and cancellations over Xmas and CNY.

Enjoy the ride, Anna.

Annas - Hammer of Thor

Anna will win this push shove contest, always the way it is in the Orwellian Swire methodology. Sorry folks.
You can as well foresee the outcome by having a look at the hand picked management leftovers following "Project Altitude" now residing on floor #3..
She has surrounded herself with the biggest pack of obsequious sycophants you could ever scrounge up; all of which follow along, riding on her coat tails nodding in unanimous agreement even if not so obviously camouflaged (LeDryBun and his disparaging rhetoric). A spineless self indulgent lot all - you can't fight that kind of "Hammer"..

:sad:

Gents (and ladies). Do you see that beautiful and expensive property that Anna owns? You, your children and your salary, pension, medical and housing benefits will be used to pay for that. Now , when are you planning on booking off “unfit”?

And let me be the first to say it. I am planning a visit to her property. Just want to enjoy all she has on offer. 😠.

Begun this pilot war has!!

Ya, leave a steaming coil on the Sofa.

Dear colleagues,

we let the thugs into our houses!

They are snooping around in your cabinets, drawers and children's rooms, looking for valuables.

For now, they are just testing your resistance though....

How far do you let them go?

Are you just standing by, while they are stealing your life in broad daylight?

DO YOUR PART... OR YOUR LIFE HERE IS GONE!!!

It cannot be said often enough: resolve to cause maximum disruption over the holidays. Everyone one of us must take action. Otherwise, be assured that there will be no career left at CX. You will have played a part in your own demise (and that of your families hopes and dreams and security). No group of employees has ever secured terms and conditions just sitting back and allowing themselves to be crushed. Take individual action, thereby allowing the AOA to have some leverage. Otherwise, you will lose everything that a proper aviation career should offer.

Will anything really happen this time? Or, is it still like 2001?

Asia's Airline Unions See Little Result
From Following in U.S. Labor Path

By ZACH COLEMAN
Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

HONG KONG -- It took 37 years for pilots at Cathay Pacific Airways to vote to take industrial action against the airline.

They may wish they had waited longer.

So far, Hong Kong government officials have restricted their involvement in the Cathay dispute to exhorting the pilots to work out and end their job action. However, the legal environment is formidable enough.

To combat Cathay pilots' work-to-rule campaign -- meant to prompt delays by meticulously sticking to flight safety rules -- the airline has chartered planes and crew from nine other airlines to operate flights on its behalf and cut extended flight legs that are vulnerable to delays. More directly, Cathay has fired 52 of its 1,600 pilots since July 5, including several union leaders and negotiators, and forsaken the collapsed talks with the union by implementing a package of raises and benefit improvements on its own.

"The union has been totally de-fanged by Cathay," says Jim Eckes, managing director of consultancy Indoswiss Aviation in Hong Kong.

Because Hong Kong lacks collective bargaining, the union has no voice to represent pilots up for disciplinary action. Furthermore, employees who participate in union actions during work hours have few legal protections against being fired, according to Wilson W.S. Chow, associate law professor at the University of Hong Kong. The lack of collective bargaining, however, also means the union is not a party to Cathay's pilot contracts and so is free to take industrial action during the term of contract without fear of lawsuit, admits Tony Tyler, the airline's corporate development director.
