So yes, my comment was fair.
Completely agreed - many, many good friends that's been in KA for years that got dumped overnight. A few younger guys that got early command that made it through the KA slog, good on them, I reckon they will have bright futures somewhere else. For some older guys that I know, lives ruined.
I think anyone "not shedding a tear' about KA, I don't even know how anyone could say anything like that? Do we in CX even really, fundamentally understand what this means? I reckon the KA boys are actually better off taking the payouts and leaving, they'll be better off - taking the 3 months/severance/goodwill or whatever and all the rest or whatever you want to call it. We are signing COS18.
I hope expat SO's really also understand the meaning of this - do you really think that CX is going to spend a lot of money on you, type train you, whilst local ex KA FO's, fully type rated, ready to go, will be sitting at home.
I wish every KA pilot well - it is something that should not have happened the way it did, but they are a good bunch of boys.
