As ever, CX is the poster child for “penny wise and pound foolish.” They know the cost of everything (not entirely true as is turns out - CMP) and the value of nothing. Unfortunately, they seem prepared to learn these lessons the hard way and will hurt a lot of people in the process (already have). The future of CX is very uncertain both in terms of growth / contraction and the safety of the operation. It is very possible that more aircraft will be returned off lease or retired than new orders delivered. As to steady or improving FDAP, I think that can be attributed to very low experience levels in the right seat and very high fatigue levels. Captains simply aren’t tolerating any deviation from uber conservative profiles and configurations. Go arounds are literally encouraged for even the smallest deviation, and pilots are happy to do them and then divert if necessary. TTW!!!
