......i've realised after these past few weeks that I really don't want to commit to a career (small letters...) to this airline. I appreciate all that has been said by others on this forum. After a bit more than a year with CX....i've had enough. Although the carriers in the US have their own problems, at least as an employee you had a proper legal and administrative system to rely on. That is the one thing I can't stand here...is the continual and perpetual uncertainty of 'what is possible'. This is no way to live. Luckily, most of us ex-United guys have a callback option.....and not a minute too soon. Good luck to all of you. ATY
