Hong Kong is good
Tax Equalization is Good
But know what you are getting before you decide what to give up.
Do you think the company hasn't figured out what it will cost? Shouldn't the Union figure out how much it will cost fred? Shouldn't the voters have some knowledge of total package costs?
So....what you're saying is that all this LOA "cost" us (the pilots) was granting the company the STV option?
And we get all the "stuff" in the LOA for granting the
possibility of being non-vol'd somewhere for up to 3 bid periods with full per diem, hotel....etc.....etc....ummm.....
Where's the down side to that again?
Who cares how much it cost Fred, or even why they're offering it (conspiracy theorists)?
You're saying we're being oferred a whole lot of "something" for almost nothing.
I agree.
Caveat - if the STV were to Darfur or Bagdad, etc. (as has been hypothesized on this site) THEN it might be a HUGE cost for the pilots - but it's not - it's HKG and/or CDG.
