Wilfred, well put, I quess we just see things from slightly different angles, and I can see and appreciate where you are coming from.
Cordy, get off the fence. You say you wish the 49er's luck, and that you don't want to be a scab as you would love to go to CX, then you tell Mr Anti CX, 411A to give it to them in the ass. Nice, mature statement that one. Come back when you can make a contribution.
411a, can you explain your burning desire to see more locals in CX? The local population do not regard a career as a pilot very highly, they see it as a non prestigious career choice. Having said that, CX has lately taken employees with a desire to fly and put them thru cadetships. Not many airlines have such a scholarship scheme that I am aware of. Another question, do you employ local pilots with you Tristar operation in Asia? If not , why not?
