KA has some serious issues.
CX need KA to be successfull but have been too busy parting to realise what's going on.
They cannot keep their own show on the road successfully.
GMO just been fired..
CAD you had better give these operators a warning to pull them into line.
Refer to Swiss cheese article.
Emotional, stressed & overworked pilots in a difficult enviroment like in this part of Asia. Esp with bad SOP & a huge cockpit gradient with new joiners subjected to this stuff is a recipe for dissaster. I'm sure CX will follow at some stage.
This safety factor was one of the major reasons to pay more to employ more experience pilots (ie sacrifice seniority back home) etc.. now u have to scrap the barrel & still little interest. HK public pay a premium for that if an accedent were to happen & they find out what is starting to happen they'll be mad!
At a stage when u are printing money on these routes (basically a manopoly) Something seriouslly wrong with your planning..
KA & CX should be expanding together big time! & building up pilots not knocking back the culture.
