"They had to pay handsomely to recruit people (pilots) away from home." Home being countries that produce significant numbers of pilots. Countries in which pilot compensation has been raised well above what the market would bear without pilot unions. Why do you think Cathay and other airlines fight against unionization so hard?

Respectfully, you don't have the slightest clue what you are talking about. The only question is whether your ignorance is willful or not.
