. The system of training in this company is beyond broken, it's smashed and pulped. I would have any potential candidates for this 'job' carefully consider the following: why would you chance a job with this company when HUNDREDS of it's own fully qualified FO's won't volunteer for the position? Does that not raise any little 'red flags' in your minds? This company is rapidly becoming a laughing stock, and situations like this only make it more so. If you have ANY chance of a career with a 'proper' airline...take it. Working for CX is like living in the real life version of Jack Nicholsons movie 'One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest'....

I must agree and state that the training department and the entire upgrade process at CX is the most troublesome part I find within the airline.
Rostering might be an issue but the #1 problem as I see it is the training system. However, it is not the majority of the great trainers that give selflessly but of the system which is set and controlled by a select few at the top.
