I agree with Scoreboard...as much as you don’t want to, you simply have to leave the cockpit and rest at some point. Everyone with a sentient brain knows there is a problem with experience levels in the cockpit, but feel constrained from voicing it to the decision makers.

I believe that this has all come to pass due in large part to the outcome of how thoroughly the Company destroyed the union after the firing of 49 pilots. This nuclear strike ended the industrial standoff in 2001 and left the field wide open. That action destroyed the union and resulted in no resistance to a constant stream of concessions and lowering of hiring standards, that continued unabated to this day. People and organizations require check and balance. The non-payment of the traditional 13th month bonus, which was paid to all the other flying staff in Cathay and Dragon...just not to Cathay pilot’s, was the final straw. The four year contract compliance campaign and the training ban have finally produced the leverage required. For the time being, check and balance has returned.
