Some months ago I sighted a copy letter from Cathay to the AOA stating that a Captain had been extended past age 55. The letter confirmed that both the most senior FO and SO were to get bypass pay. It would appear the company has followed the correct procedure as detailed in my Terms of Service (Veta 9.1 1/7/99) and no fellow pilot has been financially disadvantaged.
Assuming the most recent extentions follow this pattern, would Cloud Cuckooland kindly explain why those individuals who choose to extend are "a disgrace" and equally, would Legstretch explain why these individuals are worthy of the most distasteful label "scab"?
