Meaw,

Well let's just see here...you said;

"Job security at CX......It seems to me it might be good except:
A- You open your mouth (i.e see the 49ers)

B-You fail a SIM

c- You fail to show up to your so-called NA bases because you commute to it ( as most of the CX guys I know do)"


A. Why do you need to open your mouth? Your hired to fly aren't you? So you don't need to be the big shot.

B. You can have a bad day in a sim and get a low score on one or two items but if you do fail a sim you still won't get fired. Fail two and maybe you will but if you fail two sims maybe you should be fired.

C. Well, guys always push it to the limit don't they? CX requires you to be on location 12 hours before a flight. They don't check up on you to see if you are on location, they just want you to be there for the flight. But some guys don't like to go so early so they cut it closer and closer til one day they miss the flight. What else should CX do?

You guys in strong unions relax and take the support of your union. You know you won't get fired and so you don't need to be sharp or proffesional. But your right, if your a slacker...you better go to AC because CX will fire you.
