Sorry BuzzBox but what a load of bollox.
A question for you...How does most of the worlds airlines manage to cope with employing low time pilots and sticking them in the right hand seat of a jet and letting them lose, then after a few years they are in the left hand seat.
I have countless friends in all types of airlines around the world with different experience levels and none of them I say again NONE of them have ever had a proplem upgrading.
You seem to be one of those poor suckers that think CX is the best airline in the world mate.....
Another question for you....Why does CX make their JFO do a QL?????
What a bloody waste of time.....
