Who has 200?

And Then, can't think of many who have had 100 let alone 200hrs before leaving. The Oasis requirement is to have done just three take-offs and landings on the -400!
I would agree that similar problems for CX cannot be far behind the KA exodus. If CX are smart, and they are, then RH has to learn pretty quick how to stop the rot. He might just be in time.
KA can patently not man the 744, and flight cancellations on the 'bus are increasing. Hundreds of million of dollars worth of jets are being parked up, this has been hidden from the new masters and heads are just starting to roll. CX didn't keep a close eye on its new investment and is regretting it.
Likely outcomes include the 744s painted green and the freighter pilots offered joining CX at the bottom along with ASL or transfer to the 'bus. Boeing managers will be re-typed back onto the 'bus and told to get out there and fly. Numbers of Airbus managers will be reduced and they will go fly too.
No plan will work unless rostering and pay is seriously addressed.
