While we’re at it, let’s get the new people joining marketing to do a couple of months in Facility management! Maybe they’ll get an appreciation for cleaning staff.
Lets get the new IT guys to take a 773 for a spin around the block with pax, just so they can gain appreciation for pilots.
I’m all for cross department networking (something GH was completely against) but this should be in the realm of their actual profession.
I’m not opposed to a pilot being pulled from the line to join IOC or Crew Ops or ENG or some related department, but to have them do something completely unrelated to their position, and try and justify it is sheer lunacy and is pure desperation of a failing management.
Don’t worry though, your jobs are safe and the HK government will of course be happy to buy a controlling slice and keep the status quo
