Cannibals at the Cathay 'feast'

Sorry to hear that, Poke Guy. Didn't know they grew peanuts in Canada.

What's the HK Aircrew Assn doing about all this? Can't believe they're not hitting the courts in the UK. CX hasn't had a great record here

The HKAOA has positivly no teeth and the company management knows it.
Think they had better settle PDQ.

This is directed primarly at 411A and the rest of the doomsayers. I can not believe that there are people out there who can not seem to understand that every time a workers' group is defeated, it erodes the quality of life for workers everywhere in the world. For those of us who are fortunate enough to live in places that have laws to protect workers, we cherish those rights. If everyone strove for better working conditions everywhere, can't you understand that everyone benefits. It is a proven fact that productivity increases when cooperation increases. No one likes living in a militant state for long. For the rest of you who have worse conditions, stop comparing and strive for excellence for those who are fighting for themselves and ultimately.....for you, too. Isn't that why unions were initially formed anyway? Because there were whose who believed that profits could not be maximized unless there was child labor and 14 hour work days. There were union busters and doomsayers all over Europe and North America. The unions have prevailed and workers conditions have improved. Is there anyone today who thinks child labor is right? Lets at least support those who are willing to fight for what they believe.

Unfortunately, the labor laws in HKG are not as "labor friendly" as some would like.
Sounds like a managements' dream to me.

Sorry Kaptin, but when you said 70% favoured the Pilots I was astonished. When you said it was from a Current Affair, I laughed so hard I kicked the cable out of the computer!!

I know we've had disagreements KM, but I genuinely hope this turns out for the best!
