im sure some DEFOs are just unfamiliar with the routes that the SO has flown for sooooo many times. surely most are very capable of doing the job.
talking about the cheap labours... aren't the cadets graduates the cheapest slaves to run?? no housing, no nothing until 4 bars... just saw a recent column on SCMP 22nd Feb, 09 about KA's racist discrimination case against the local pilots pointed forward by their respective union.. and how about CX?? denying everything?!? only Local Captains receive a 24k housing allowance... surely cadets are the most money saving labours.

Dragonair is discriminating against locally hired pilots through policies that result in expatriate fliers receiving up to twice as much in their pay packets, its pilots' union claims....
