Goonybird, You must be as foolish as your name! However, you have a gift of breaking camaraderie and team spirit. You should know that most CXF Pilots are now Cathay and not ASL. For the large number of narrow minded individuals, don't blame the ASL pilots for taking what was very arguably a good deal but blame the company for making a new set of conditions and salaries.
Fossil fuel, salary isn't everything as the current policy on transfer to mainline is you go where you are needed and that almost ensures a Hong Kong address. No Thanks!
Thrust, your on the right track. As for when the CXF pilots can move over, the ex-ASL guys can move over as soon as a possition is vacant while the new hires have to wait 3 years.
