On the contrary dogleg, this subject is only just getting started.
The Dragonair 747 guys have been well and truly done over and the Airbus crew are slowly starting to realise how the incremental changes are affecting their career progression, job security and benefits. The anger and resentment, relatively muted up until now, is rising rapidly.
Soon there will be 400 Dragon pilots who are experienced, well qualified and well trained, all using Cathay SOP’s. Once this happens it is only a matter of time before they will be flying Cathay Airbus’s. I think it is fair to say that most Dragon crew look forward to this prospect even less than Cathay crew, but we need to face up to the reality.
Some form of integration will occur and the respective pilots groups have to start discussing a suitable solution. We need to do so before an entirely unsatisfactory company solution is imposed upon us all.
Snide comments are not going to help.
