Apologies for slight thread drift...

Cutting costs indeed!!!! I dare the AOA to write to the SCMP to educate Ms So as to the reasoning behind Cathay firing 50 pilots! Mind you, we wouldn't want to endanger our new found relationship now, would we???

[Hiro Nakimura]

couple of Australian based captains on the night flights to/from Australia

"we are going to split the rest equally. SOs you will get the first hour and the last hour and a half!"


Or some long haul captains. "your sector and here is the rest you can have!"

[Beta Light]

we are going to split the rest equally. SOs you will get the first hour and the last hour and a half!"

Most of the quote's here show Cx's very strange culture, but this quote of yours is showing how spoiled some people are.

Part of the S/O and Relief pilot duty is to provide the T/O Landing crew with the best possible rest. If this mean a sh!tty rest for the relief crew then so be it.

When I joined as an S/O I talked to my mates who operated as S/O's with various other airlines. After listening to them I expected to be burned out every flight. Great was my surprise when the Captains split the duty half / half.

As a S/O for over 3 years, and a lot of A330 to Australia I always tried to give the crew max. rest as I knew that that was what I would expect from the S/O when I move to the P/F seat.

With the 3 man ULH coming we will see more burning of the third pilot, it is industry standard, and believe me you will appreciate it when you upgrade
