From the General rumours forum.... UK charter aircraft are inbound to HK to take up the slack.
At what cost?
ALL CX Shareholders take note! We have not even talked about industial action. The SCMP and the CX publicity machine seem to want us to strike over Xmas?? seems mighty strange to me.
Sorry TT/DT/NPR , but you are not going to blame the sorry state of the airline and its inability to operate the schedule on industrial action.
Dear SCMP, please compare our rostering system with those of our major one world partners..AA & BA . Our rostering system was never any good and it hasn't really changed in years. Get hold of any BA/AA pilot and say the phrase " assigned roster" to him/her. The reaction will be vey amusing.
To the Public....Do you really want to fly with an airline that shows this much disrespect to it's employees in the local tabloid?
Do you really think that crew reading the rubbish in the SCMP should even consider getting on board an aircraft with 350+ pax on board with stress levels through the roof. I have seen this first hand in the last two days and it is VERY DANGEROUS.
Cathay Pacific management have always stated their "right to manage" .Well it's about time they took the reponsibility that goes with that right.
The situation that the airline finds itself in now is purely the reponsibilty of management. Trying to put the blame for this current manpower shortage debacle on a non management employee group is appalling.
One day very soon the management at Cathay Pacific (at the highest levels) will be asked to account for their treachery to their customers , shareholders and employees.
I ask anyone in any position to do so, to bring that day closer.
