It's not on a "whim", but it is at times, for reasons that would NOT get you fired in a North American airline.
Stability..thats the best one of them all. A rolling three month contract at CX that can be terminated at a whim. At least five sims a year that are jeopardy rides, and a three leg check ride thats done single pilot. Say the wrong thing around management, have a ride that the checker doesnt like the way you speak...oh yeah, very secure enviorment.
That is very exaggerated! If you show up, do your job and prepare for your checks like you should...you will never get fired!
You may still get challenged, frustrated, Cat B'd and possibly have a rough time at CX, but do your job and you won't get fired. What happens is the frustration of the crap at times gets to the best of us and before you know it you snap at crew control or make a dumb remark to a manager/checker and all of a sudden that door gets a little closer.
