Pathetic. Dont come to Cathay to enjoy flying. There is no such thing here. Its all about FCOM3s (operational procedures etc) that are so anal and rigid that you really dont have a frame work to use your own brain (some might prefer that - and so be it!). You are professionally dead at this Mickey Mouse "Airline". For your own sake go flying for somebody that actually looks at u as being a professional. This company is an old RAF leftover of a !!!! place. It pretends that CRM is an integrated part of the non-existent framework and management truely believe that they have got a top end product flightdeck trained (all most piss in my pants while even bothering to mention those words in connection with CX!
) - its all a nothing but dreams. Most American and European establish airlines are light years ahead of the CX operation. To put it simple CX are left in the 70-80s.
Guys are leaving for reason, among others, for the above.
Happy flying old chaps.
