captain white
I am professional and competent otherwise I wouldn't be working for Cathay (god, that sounds great doesn't it?) today. If people want to call me names that is their right. I have my friends up here in HK and a lot are not aircrew. I worked hard for my flying qualifications and my daddy didn't pay one red cent towards it now I am continuing my career in the job I have always wanted.
sometimes you have to make hard decisions - this time wasn't one. AOA could be OK but they have to get there house in order. I don't intend to let a union screw my life like they did my brothers. the AFAP like the AOA were OK but they lost direction and were living in a dream world like mr Hopkins
good luck to the 49s and all the new hires up here life will be good once the cobwebs settle.
