Good call CPDude.
Cathay would be wise NOT to insist on any form of resignation from other
seniority lists.
This will encourage more furloughed pilots to apply, have a look at working
in an expanding airline with more career options than anywhere.
I also acknowledge the ridiculous command failure rates and the race to
the bottom in pay and conditions.
Personally, I joined with rights of re-employment elsewhere but chose
to stay, it's still a good gig.
I would never have tried Cathay without a safety net elsewhere.
So YOU management halfwits, don't push people off their previous
employment lists, let them fly and try, most will stay.
There really is not much better out there!
