thanks for all that guys,
sounds like a lot of you need to head down to the wanchai district.......................
nothing can really be that bad?!?! no airline, and company for that fact is perfect. you take the good with the bad and get on with the job, which i think cx as a company does really well. i learnt a valuable lesson reasontly which is that a company will do what ever THEY WANT / NEED for their bottom line, nd their is not much anyone can do about it. you can either accept it move on..
i read a book a few yeare ago; Beyond Lion Rock. from that day on the only airline i wanted to fly for was cx. i had approach plates of the rwy13igs, and was, to say the least pissed off when they decommissioned that airfield, as im sure a lot of you were as well. would have given my left testicle, and still would, to shoot an approach in there in crap weather... magical. what a place to live in as well.
just hope that one day im given the opportunity to join the long and distinguised rank of cx.....
on a final note, i recently lost my job due to company being taken over. our pilots had long and protracted negotionations with management, and still are. and to what avail??? i left, and moved on... maybe not the best move given the current aviation climate but we cannot win against management.
wish you guys all the best with it and hope it sorts its self out soon.
regards.
ps have com 2 regularly tuned into the high level freqs and love to hear those cx position reports while im cruising 30 odd thousand feet below....
