The DEFOs joining CX from a CX group company will get priority over other DEFOs. Management mentioned the rule of 3years minimum (not written anywhere though).
The seniority is still the first consideration, but as many new FOs (previously SO) won’t reach the requirements on time, they gonna pick the DEFOs, depending on experience and performance. Thats what happen when you don’t have enough pilots.
That's very funny. Clearly you're new to cathay. There never was a clear reasoning logic to follow when it comes to command upgrades, not even back in the better days. Whatever method to the madness there was it was never clear to follow. "Depending on experience and performance" ? Laughable. If they percieve you to be on the cusp of leaving they will come up with some really silly excuses/lies or just no excuse at all to delay you while others with much less experience and performance get the nod. Meaning if you have so much experience that it's easier for you to get another job and leave, you're now considered a flight risk. Someone below you on their own assesment list of experience and performance will be picked instead, because said person does not have enough hope of getting hired elsewhere anytime soon.
This is a very major decision factor on the star chamber for the last 2 years. Less experience and performance helps you get selected. Because you have less of a chance to get hired elsewhere anytime soon.
