Now this is just hearsay but I heard a First Officer just 3 months from Command was delayed a year. Can anyone confirm this?
If so, I don’t think 3-6 months will cut it.
The company can increase the retirement age to 65 but they must wear the bypass pay until all First Officers and Second Officers on COS 99 are Captains. Full stop in my opinion. If on COS 08, you are out of luck.
It only seems fair but I can’t see a 54 year old standing for that or anyone the rank of Captain. It’s all about me or what is in it for me.
Cathay agreed to by-pass pay, it’s time they followed the contract and not try to get out at the expense of others.
IMHO of course.
