Let me get the facts straight, so swire came up with the strategy to get rid of senior ranking pilots and replace them with cheaper FO's and SO's, but there is a training ban so no one is getting command and upgrades, and I speculate there is lack of training captain too? Whilst regional competitors continue to headhunt for CX pilots and other leaving for ME3 through disappointment and rage, so they started hiring DEFO but did anyone mention to management there is currently a global shortage of experienced pilot.
Can you see where I am going with this? CX sounds like the next Ryanair! Many of my colleagues here in Europe see HX as a training school with a free type rating for widebody before ME3, UO is not expanding either. Whilst all this is going on, ZGGG is busy building their 5th runway. Hong Kong is truly going down...
Please correct me if I'm wrong!
