Well there’s a arrogant / ignorant sermon from a cathay “sky god” if ever I’ve heard one! I challenge you to find ONE, current or former CX s/o who was flying a C172 (other than for fun) immediately prior to joining. Most of the guys I joined with had considerable jet time (and I’m not talking RJ) and the lowest time guy had 5000hrs turboprop command. All of them, bar none, had put in the hard yards to get here!
None of the guys I know feels that the company owes us a command, we’ve all been screwed over in the past (and no doubt will be again!) All we’re after is a fair shot! And by the way we’re not looking at 11-12 years to command, we’re looking at 15-16 + years to command! Are we pissed about it? Kin oath we are! Would you not be if in our shoes?
However, in my opinion, we shouldn’t be pissed with you. It’s the company that’s engineered the current situation, why? As always with CX, because it’s the cheapest option. The company doesn’t give a flying toss about you, or me, or any of the other staff!! It’s all about getting the job done for the least $$ . Thereby maximizing returns for the shareholders!! And if you were a shareholder (which you may well be) that’s exactly what you’d want them to do!!
What do we do about it?? That’s the $64000 question
And no Raven, I think most of us know exactly where the plot is!
Buggs out
