BScaler, I agree with you. As much as I was keen to join CX but with these new conditions, I am staying put until they decided to review their offer. Im not the only one either, i know half a dozen guys personally who were all on the verge of joining CX, all with minimum 2500hrs wide-body and with internaltional long haul ops. They all pulled the plug on their application due to this new CofS08 offer.
Anyway will keep an ear to the ground and see if conditions improve. Otherwise a little birdy told me that the MIDDLE EAST airlines are about to increase salary again to attract qualified guys. Seems the penny has dropped and realising a/c will be grounded they are working on new packages. Anyway just a rumour but seems plausible and mate already working in EK seems to be a reliable source.
Cheers
