Don’t think it’s the DEFO’s fault but I guess it depends on where you sit. Blame the DFO. He’s the orchestrator.
They need S/O’s in Hong Kong and need DEFO’s on a base. There are many F/O slots on bases not filled, so CX is hiring directly to these bases and saving huge amounts of money.
Point: It is those that have been screwed and those that will. It’s only a matter of time. This time it is the S/O’s.
Not much you can do about. Go on Strike? Complain to your Chief Pilot?
Getting angry at the DEFO’s is not going to solve it. Wrong guys to get angry at.

A/T: You are correct. It does not effect certain people and it’s the I’m Alright Jack Syndrome. I have seen it in 1993,1999, 2001 and when we ditched the 49ers.
Any suggestions on how we fix the problem?
