CX is really gambling by keeping all these guys at the bottom of the list onboard. Sure, they are a lot cheaper than all the CNs and experienced FOs, but they aren’t free. CX is betting on a strong return in traffic by summer. Otherwise, what the heck are they doing? Sure, you lose a few DEFOs and quite a few SOs off the 747. So what?!?! Get some of those 777 guys on the 747 short course and get on with it...
