Spoke to one 400 FO yesterday who is waiting for
VB. Another 400 FO is on his way as soon as the offer he is awaiting arrives. First one is under one year service.The other is over. A third one has just had a successful interview for a job in Europe. His resignation is imminent. By the time management realise that the tipping point has arrived it will be too late. Not only will we not have enough crew to fly the programme, we will not be able to get them. The word is out that CX is not a great deal anymore. There is dry rot within the company. It spreads from crew through to Crew Control who are overwhelmed with the task. The paint job may look good but the core is rotting away.
What has happened to bring CX to the position where folk are leaving us for LCCs and charter jet operators?
