Rumor has it that both NR (CX DFO) and PW (CX General Manager Aircrew) are being moved sideways by Swire Management. Seems mismanagement of the aircrew body has gotten them in trouble.
Rumor has it CX have aircraft parked and no aircrew to fly them. The recent resignations of Check and Training Pilots have left the training department extremely short. Courses had to be cancelled and Junior First Officers training reduced.
Noticed the CX DFO in on duty travel until the end of the month (believe the DFO is in LHR getting reprimanded) and the GMO (possibly the next DFO) is doing the writing. There is no Swire Prince in the grooming for the DFO’s position and Swire may have to settle for a pilot until such a time a prince is groomed.
