Dragonair. Don't come unless you have to ! Sad that an outfit with a good bunch of people at the coalface is spiralling so rapidly.

A newjoining FO is taking a considerable professional risk by joining. Why ? Command prospects are blowing out by years as more bad news follows. Classics going. 400F going. Expansion slowed. Flights cancelled with possible damage to the brand. Many more flights to be cancelled as attrittion hits hard and those left are demoralised and questioning their own reasons for staying.

The biggest risk is that Cathay, a few years down the track, absorbs the operation. Leaving the poor sods left with broken promises and " To the bottom of CX senioirty list you go ".

Cathay has shown nothing, absolutely nothing that suggests that KA pilots will get anything but a shafting. Their only concern is if resignitions become ridiculously disorderly. They may then have to write down the the embarassingly high price they have paid for Dragonair.

As much as we need folks at the moment. Be careful.
