Amen and amen!
All this hand wringing makes no sense. We (CX) are at least 1000 pilots too many atm. Why the bottom 1/3 of the list has been employed for the last 6 months is a mystery to me. They aren’t needed or, in most cases, actual pilots with relevant experience. Retrain off the 777 fleet if necessary.
All the talk about furloughs from bases and force majeure are nonsense. Seniority is how the industry works, even at CX. This isn’t an Asian contract job contrary to some opinions. If CX wants to make it a contract job by force, get ready for lawsuits all over the world and be prepared to have very few (decent) Western expat pilots stay or ever join again.
The low-time brats living in 150m2 of Tung Chung are licking their chops just waiting for the demise of the expat so they can get promoted, as if CX won’t come for them next. It’s so sad and pathetic, and not that much different from the protesters looting and destroying big cities around the world. They want (feel entitled) to something that isn’t theirs. Grow up babies! Get out of your mama’s basement and put in the hard yards like the rest of us did. Handouts are not the answer.
