Better off separate from CX. Many good guys in CX but they are divided and some of their juniors have that legacy carrier arrogance that always ends in tears.
I would never expect to screw a CX driver out of a basing or a long haul command in any integration. However, like many in KA, we have achieved commands and wealth early so are in a good position to behave badly and look after ourselves in any of the groups future opportunities. That is, I can work for a lot less than the average CX driver in exchange for lifestyle.
Not that I think CX pilots will get any say in it. Don't cock it up though and create justification for a group of pilots to do commands, basings or new types for a lot less.
