The ball is in KA's Court
Pollution IV appears to have outlined the issues... however,
Please don't take the relatively small number of views being expressed on pprune as in anyway a sample of the views of Cx pilots. I am fairly comfortable to express the opinion that for most Cx pilots; being the Captains and the FO's, this is a non-issue. Rightly, or wrongly, they do not see themselves being unduly affected by an Integration. Obviously, the first time a Cx 330 CN is handed a roster dominated by trips to the Mainland or a FO is offered either a 320 Command or Cat B (not suitable for Command): things will change for some....
If you guys go quietly into the night.... you will be on the bottom of the list and continue to do what you do and all will be happy.... nes pas.. Continue to leave and Cathay will have to revisit the idea of you being on the bottom of the list for the reasons outlined by Pollution IV.
A couple of other points; it is an open secret that the AOA and DPA are talking. I would guess one item that is being discussed is the industrial landscape after Integration; the practicalities of maintaining 2 Unions, which Union does a new joiner join; does one union wither on the vine...?
I know as a Cx pilot I do not understand the life of Ka pilot; except that I happy with my decision to join Cx and not Ka. However, Pollution IV, your comments at the end of Para 2 illustrate that you have no idea what our 330 and 777 pilots do......
