Corporal Klinger is clearly management , trying very hard to justify the decisions made to cut salaries and benefits .
cathay used to have a huge amount of goodwill amongst the crew both cockpit and cabin . That’s long gone . The short sighted attitude of management that if you shake a tree hundreds of pilots will fall out no longer holds true .
In the past I used to look for ways of shaving a few minutes off the flight time . It took some effort , now I just couldn’t be bothered . It doesn’t sound like much , but multiply that by hundreds of flights per day it soon mounts up .
P.s. some excellent posts on this page
