I must say lots of truth in what you have said. CX is now becoming a training airline and it will be just that for me! They could not change my mind in the slightest to stay. The 2 SO thing is probably a massive factor for guys looking to leave this airline. Your upgrade 2 FO will take 5 years. They are going to keep you in the cheap seat for as long as possible.
It is happening now as we speak.
They hiring DEFO over guys and girls that have been here for 3+ years. Why? because they want to expand the 2 SO thing. They blame it on the Training Ban ( which has caused issues ) but there SO's with lots of experience and they overlooked also. It is a shame. No movement on the SL.
Which is $#%@ed up if you ask me.
Now i need the upgrade so i have handcuffs on at the moment. This is the issue for guy with min time. You stuck here, and for older guys you stuck here also. I can see the disappointment all around.
And this is not just in the SO group but the FO's and CPT's.
People are leaving.
Less people are joining - why spend 5 years here when you can be a CPT in 2 years in KA? or 5 years in HKA?
This company biggest cost will be its training cost soon.
