Dear Chris
I don't expect much from you and you haven't disappointed me with your DFO Update.
HKPA might have been almost acceptable for inexperienced pilots joining CX when it was introduced but the housing market has moved a long way since then. A good starting point would be to double it or drop it entirely and give ARAPA to all.
The way CX is being mis-managed there is no point '...to focus on the future...' as there isn't one for the company as a whole. The only 'future' many of your pilots have is their next job. I will 'dwell on the past' until past injustices are made right.
If 'our pilots remain a highly valued asset' treat them as such. The conditions are not good enough, the attrition rate proves that. 13 month pay anyone?
I firmly believe that we will crash an aeroplane and kill hundreds of people because of the pilot employment and training policies the company management have adopted as you strive to drive down costs and get their bonuses. Your statements re Haddon-Cave are simply wrong.
There is no industrial action. I and most others are simply working in compliance with our contracts.
I am not proud to be a part of this airline.
