I've been saying for some time now that CX is no place to put the hopes and dreams of any individual and their families. If there was ever any doubt about it, the execution of KA should remove that once and for all. With the stroke of a pen, they have destroyed a 35 year old airline, and the thousands of staff and their families. Going forward, never mind the appalling COS being imposed, think about how insecure every moment of your career will be. CX now will have draconian powers of dismissal, out of seniority. Effectively they have created an airline that is the modern day equivalent of the salt mines. You'll be worked to the bone, receiving minimal compensation, poor health care (which will leave you penniless if you or or family member should suffer serious illness or injury) and any transgressions (as defined by Flt Ops managers) will likely result in quick dismissal. They will always look to make an example of someone on a regular basis to keep the rest in line. With no contract to speak of, there is no certainty regarding anything that constitutes a proper aviation career. quae sunt monuit.
