As a Dragonair pilot we flew for a significant period leased to Air China. It was drama-less except for the drama-queens who wanted their white superiority syndrome to find issues their closed mines couldn’t deal with.
Soon after we were taken over by CX and nothing could prepare you for the clown car that was their operational control. I’d have taken Air China any day over CX and what a pity we weren’t sold to them instead of the fools you have running you now. How can they stuff expansion up so badly with the most pliable, one sided pilot contract I’ve ever seen? They still have arrogance and sensibilities as if CX is a legacy player that it was previously. You have KA Captains or experienced ex-KA F/O’s sitting in the RHS watching new CX guys bend aeroplanes or if it ever picks up in China, drain demerit points like never before. What an easy fix! Dropping the standard hasn’t worked so why not take a look at long lost training files and promote on ability.
