Well, if you read this weeks DFO update you clearly see that many crew will go above and beyond by extending under "commander's discretion". I wonder if from now on the pilot group will be a little more "tired" when going to work.
Shark's fin soup?? Creative, but maybe a little too much. Did management drop the ball on this profit share issue? No doubt, they had an opportunity to make things better and it would have cost them very little. When regional airlines in the states like CoEx are getting bonuses, management should take notice and remember all the times they posted industry news saying how bad they are doing financially over in America.
Let's see what they are gonna do to fix this last mistake. It would be silly to not do anything to compensate and recover from it.
And how about that DC-3? If it flew in, why would it be so hard to maintain it in flying condition? And if you where gonna just "stick it on a flagpole for people to see", why not buy a much cheaper fiberglass model, or even a "non flying" DC3. I'm sure there are plenty of wrecked/parked ones arround that we could disassemble and stuff into a freighter on the way to HK. We certainly have the room on the way to Honkers. Didn't Cathay start operations with DC-3s (or the military C-47 version)? It is just bad Karma to take the aircraft type you came to be with, and just stuff it on a pole - especially if the aircraft is still in perfect working order. Is it me, or does anyone else see this as a really bad Omen? I must say, it is not a very good way to start your 60th anniversay year. I would expect better from the very supersticious chinese.
