Actually no.... CX was coming out of the Asian Financial Crisis and there was not a lot of SO's hired. Equally ASL took a modest number in 98 and only about 4 in 99.
Let me rephrase, CX did a lot of interviewing 98 and 99 and I'll go wildly out on a limb here and say it was for the purpose of hiring, which was delayed. Unless you are going to tell me it wasn't interviewing for the purpose of hiring
You appear to be saying seniority should be date of interview..... not date of joining...... interesting concept.....
No what I am saying is that if I am waiting for a start date on the pax fleet I don't expect the AOA to go into bat for someone on the separate ASL freighter fleet to take pax seniority away from me. Is that asking too much?
On the 1 Jan 2000 I resigned from ASL and joined Veta at the bottom of the Seniority List; my expectations changed. Why should myself (or the AOA for that matter) have any obligations to protect people who haven't joined the company yet.....!!
So the extra 3-4 years that pax joiners have had involuntarily added to their time to command is the same as you voluntarily taking a basing?
Yes my idea's are strange, I completely fail to grasp that one. After the AOA allows RA 65 and another 4-5 years to command goes onto the 3-4 they already gave me I assume you would recommend my 'expectations' change again
