Freighter/Passenger Integration
Well! - In light of the fantastic pay rise afforded the freighter crews this year (approximately 3.5% I think?), it will be interesting to see what happens as the "Integration" begins.....
At present there are 90 freighter pilots eligble to sign over to the passenger fleet.
Of these, 43 are Captains and 47 are FO's.
Word is the management have said that ONLY 42 will be allowed to sign over in the first wave......
What I want to know is:
What happens if the first 42 Captains all sign across to take positions as FO's on the passenger fleet?
With the current freighter crewing agreement in place, would it mean that unless CX could get volunteers from the pax fleets (yeah right!) to operate the freighter, would CXF/AHK grind to a halt?
