Average 777 pilot isn't flying at all.
Average Airbus pilot is doing 45 hours.
Only the 747 guys are flying reasonable hours.
No 747's parked.
Hkg isn't really opening any time soo. Thus cx is a cargo airline for the foreseeable future.
So - There's no shortage of pilots.
There's 2500 guys on the seniority list.
Costs to hire and train new pilots as we slowly open up over the next two or more years will be a billion dollars plus - however they've saved double that on cos18 and everyone that quit over the past two years...
I fail to see the problem...
