CU: How many guys are leaving for Korean? Korean will have to pay much more to take away CX pilots. I can't see it happening. The only ones leaving are some US freither guys. Don't think it is a mass exodus. There is always someone to fill the space.
How many crew going to VS? None comes to mind. Until it happens nothing will happen here. It seems we will live in a fire for a long time before we jump.
There can be a washout on interviews, but pilots still show up. They pick from them. Do they lower there standards? All new joiners are a lower standard whatever there position. I know I was until I got up to speed in a new operation.
Oasis is taking some 55ers but are CX counting on the 55ers continuing their contract? I think they consider that they fall off the ladder at 55. I don't know the situation with the 55ers joining Oasis.
EK getting a payrise, I will believe it when I see it. They can promise much but until it happens.................. That may bring it up to just below B Scale. A Scale is still 30% more than B Scale and guys are doing the same job. There are Cat D'ed A scale F/O's making more than a B Scale Captain.
Don't think the pendulum has swung. But that is my 02C worth.
