They helped build the reputation of this airline where celebrities ranging from kings to prime ministers and rock stars begging to be permitted to sit behind a CX pilot as he flew the IGS. CX pilots were revered throughout the industry. Then more expansion and the standards to get into CX were dropped. Slashed in fact to accept people like YOU. No work opportunities in your home backwater. The prospect of flying a light twin in the outback for the rest of your life. A salary just above minimum wage. So you jumped at the terms and conditions offered by CX. You have no integrity, no professional pride or standing. You're just a little man in a shiny jet that 30 years ago wouldn't have been eligible to wash the outside of it let alone fly it. Henpecked by your wife who thought she was marrying a real jet pilot, someone with the right stuff, you are now stuck in a company that is ruthless and taking every opportunity to screw the class of pilot it recruited not so long ago to replace the elite it once had.
Suck it up Dsteve. You were second rate when you were recruited. They knew it. Your predecessors knew it and sadly you knew it too. You will never be the pilot Traf was/is and it is that fact that eats away at you each night. Traf has earned his retirement. Have you ?
Come on @unitedabx, don't sugar coat it, tell him what you really think. Jeez
