The current resignation rate, whether it’s 200 or 350+ per year, is not sustainable. Not only will the airline be unable to grow the fleet, it will also sacrifice safety as the training department becomes over-tasked. Evidence? How many new commands this year? A dozen or two. Yet, CX continues to lose captains to both retirements and resignations and simultaneously claims growth in the form of new A350s and eventually 777X. The truth is they will be parking A330s and 77Ws to cope. Frequencies will be cut. Marketshare will be lost. All the while, experience on the flight decks will plummet as capable pilots leave for greener pastures. Those remaining will have to cope as the job gets more demanding, both in terms of covering the flying task and compensating for inexperience in the right seat. The death spiral has truly begun. Drastic measures are now required, but CX seems unlikely to even acknowledge the problem, much less have any idea how to fix it.
