Sanity and the bitter truth
At the risk of being called a traitor to my Caucasian genes, let me try to bring some sanity to this thread. All these racist rants point to some sore loser type adventurers having lost in their bid to set up their self righteous ivory empires.
After the 1989 dispute I had the fortune and misfortune to work in South East Asia; over there I met and worked with local pilots who were great professionals both in technical and people skills. Sadly there were also plenty of riff raffs who managed fairly well with their " white bashing ' ways.
Along come many caucasians trying to take advantage of the emerging SEA airlines who were desperate for experienced crew members for their expansion; we have classic con men with their glib tongues and fanciful talk, some of whom managed to wriggle and weasel their way into their SEAsian pilot ranks. Some even weaseled themselves into management positions!
Within the local SEAsian pilot ranks there exist some consummate pilots who couldn't care less about the antics of such caucasian con artists. However there were some who felt that their airlines and countries were badly manipulated and shortchanged. Bear in mind that these locals ( many Singaporeans and Malaysians ) do speak excellent English and understand the subtle tricks of fanciful talk and bombastic claims by our western con artists. These fellas have no hesitation in pointing out the diabolical tricks of such con men to their airline management; and down crumbling come the empires and fortresses of those adventurers. Incidently, these " whistle blowers " are of the yellowish tinge with many too whose forefathers came from the subcontinent. They have better mastery of the Queen's English and do fathom Corkney double speak!
I suspect that in the case of HKA, etc those adventurer type were trying to con the Hainanese and Chinese ( with their " superior and bombastic ' claims to be god's gift to aviation ) but their ambitions were thwarted somewhat by these SEAsians who alerted the HKA/Hainanese to such tricks ( I bet my last dollar that these con artists were thinking they could run rings and circles round these naive Chinamen ). The sad thing is that sometimes such tricks worked and paid big time, and I suspect they did previously. But now it seems those conniving con artists lost big in the turf wars and are exacting their revenge out in this forum.
This is not to say that all things are nice and dandy in HKA/HKE. I read of this character RJ/RS who I believe I did come across during my days in SEAsia; I certainly have reservations if he is management. However to paint all the SEAsians as snakes and useless dung is utter nonsense. The name calling, disinformation, and cesspit humour are all signs of mischievious and diabolical minds who seek to manipulate through constantly repeating disinformation until people start to believe.
These rampant tricks , if left unchecked, are very damaging to the honour of the whites; they make every honourable western pilot cringe with embarrassment and guilt for having such scumbags amongst our ranks.
