Another rational and mature posting from Kubota. Remember Pouda, Kubota and his ilk
still hang around like a bad smell even though they clearly despise the people they work for. Sad isn't it.

As I said, make an informed decision and don't rely solely on this forum.

CWS Our industry is cyclical as you know. Everyone is suffering now and there will be pain over the short term. Remember, as your chairman pointed out very recently, it is cheaper (in real terms) to buy a ticket now than 20 years ago. It is therefore hardly surprising it is difficult to make a buck.

Longer term CX needs to grow for several reasons. One is SQ's threat in the region and two is a need to dominate CLK slots rather like LH in FRA, BA in LHR, SQ in SIN etc. Aircraft production slots are now available (and going cheap) so a good time to think expansion.

Re basings. If you are recruited to base, you are not regarded by the HKG crew as
outsiders if that is your question. Different deals depending on location North America, Europe or Australia.

ASLr - I assume no one forced you to go on a NA base? 18-20 days away from base so between 11 to 13 days at home per month. Hey that's tough.

You all have a nice day now.
