I too have sat here reading the rants, most of them I will not comment on.
regretCX, you have compiled a lengthy list of reasons CX is not the perfect airline and I can't argue with you with that. Do I hope things will change...absolutely! Do I think things will change...only maybe.
If you asked me a week ago what I thought, I would have told you that CX is screwed and in 12-24 months they will be parking many aircraft. Now I'm not so sure. I think the lucky b*stards might be landing on their feet again.
Yesterday the markets had a major correction. Many believe today is the calm before a bigger storm. Also, the US overstated its growth in 2006 by 1/3rd. That is huge! If we are on the doorstep of a major recession then the massive growth CX planned and can't cope with can be cancelled. They will dodge another bullet.
Those leaving CX are leaving many problems but also a secure job. They can have a great job with United but will they get furloughed next year or the year after? Who knows but that is one of the very few advantages with CX.
Just my two cents worth!
