I find this a little extraordinary considering all the documentation provided about the threat of a "Currency Deficit". Prior to KA's cessation, the message was clear from Flight Op's, please be conservative. KA Managers driving this message home survived the purge and moved over to CX. The couldn't feel any different or any less concerned now? There's got to be a lot of life change and stress on the CX Flight Deck and it would be extraordinary for a pilot in a management role not to be aware?

Anyways, hoping the CX guys can see well beyond this inconsistent management rhetoric and look after themselves. It's an unusually stressful place to work- well maybe that was just flying to China- as many of my ex-KA friends can't believe how relaxing unemployment is. Once you've navigated the bumpy road of the CX redundancy process of course.

Take it easy!
