I have lurked for too long, whilst seeing on PPRuNe, the disintegration of the HKAOA, and management's exploitation of your dysfunctional group. I am an HK expat with aviation interests, many decades Marco Polo member, but now choose not to fly CX because the product is not what it was.
The flight crew guys that I know are all on terms, with ARAPA and using the cash to buy investment properties in HK. All are reveling in CX's woes, with much ridicule of the late Anna, and now much denigration of the Jellyfish. Also, much criticism of SOs from Cadet intake. So workplace and cockpit morale are compromised. All are exuberant about the rate of resignations. When asked about training policy and their personal promotion, they become ambivalent.
When asked about moving on, all plead GOLDEN HANDCUFFS! So not underpaid.
Acceptance of "seniority" is an anachronism in today's world. Any true profession does not work like this.
No wonder you guys can't sort yourselves out. You get what you deserve.
Truly Cathay Pathetic.
