So we have one dill running around level 2 saying we would get all the 330s coming in 2012 if we could crew them, at the same time the DPA is working on a redundancy package. Business as usual....
Wondering if the FCS guys fighting so hard for "grandfather rights" on the Manchester base, feel so strongly about it now for their FCS colleagues thinking of staying in KA and coming to HKG... Cant have it both ways boys. Not expecting too many of them to want to come to hkg, but some will, making current airbus FOs even more junior. That should have a few bus drivers leave after they get their gratuity.
So the HKRO scabs get offered CX seniority? Thats nice... So if we ever integrate, they will be senior to all of us. Give you a warm and fuzzy? That alone has got to be worth reentering CC for some may think?
With pornstar tiger and virgin making offers to quite a number of KA crew at the moment, it is amazing how many guys are set to resign, it amazes me still, how many guys are sitting on offers just waiting to give the minimum 3 months. The 320 is about to have its turn to lose even more senior captains. Add to that, the air china Frankfurt base about to start recruiting Captains that want to return to Europe. The chance to return home for the Europeans has been closed.
We have just seen Kenny's response to not being able to crew the freighter, wonder what his response will be to the airbus crewing being further decimated? To his credit, in his letter he was very careful not to apportion blame of the failure of the 400 introduction, no prizes for guessing who is responsible. How did a freight operation fail out of the worlds biggest freight terminal, at a time of unprecedented growth for the region? Quite amazing really.
An interesting couple of months ahead.
