At Cathay, can you bid to change fleet? (At some point...)
I am considering moving to CPA with my partner who has been offered a job in HK.
Understand fleet assignment is random and essentially you only really know when you join on day 1 and start. However, is there any scope to move fleets once the bond has expired? If initially assigned short haul on 321, would a switch to long haul be possible?
Are short/long haul command times different? Where I am at present, short-haul command (first airline command) took about 2 years vs 20+ at long haul.
Is there short-haul flying all there and back? Or are there nightstops? Again, where I am at present has 1-5 day trips, which I enjoy.
Any input would be appreciated.
Many thanks.
