The last line of the article says it all:

....and Dragon Air awarded their pilots a 20% increase in December, proving that 'pilots are in the driving seat'...! No further comment needed. Now, when are we going to start moving together in the same direction to remind our management that the days of reduced pay and conditions is over? If we can't accomplish it now..then there really is no hope for any career prospects at CX.

Good article. Thanks for the link. Hope they're still looking for pilots next year. I need a new job.
