Actually, I have no problem whatsoever with the fact you did so well out of CX and Hong Kong in general. You joined at the ‘right’ time, and you had the required experience at the time – congratulations.
However, please do us all a favour and have the good grace and humility to realise that you have had a fantastic innings. Constantly belittling your junior colleagues and moaning about your employment situation makes you look quite pathetic really… similar to a bunch of petulant, spoiled school kids.
Interestingly, the best senior Captains (A-scale if you like) I flew with at CX were those that understood the relative gap in T’s and C’s and focussed on working with their junior colleagues rather than against them. These Captains earned natural respect by respecting their colleagues on the flight deck and passing on their knowledge. 99.9% of Pilots I meet are more than capable of making their own choices and conditions, and young pilots can in no way be blamed for joining a contract that has been allowed to exist by the existing workforce.
We’re constantly told on this forum that we should leave CX and that CX is over, and yet now we are told that leaving is bad and that we are like headless chickens.
Well, I made my choice and left CX. I guess I’m in the headless chicken brigade… I wonder who is happier though?
Amen!
Some guys apparently get a hard on by willy waving on an anonymous pilot forum.
Anyway, I thought this thread was not about the 4th house in the South of France or the 20 meter Beneteau, but about the developments in Honky and the consequences it might have on the local pilot work force.
