A few months ago I reported that the KA CEO and the General Manager ISD were going to be replaced. This has been accomplished.
I reported that there was an ongoing project to eventually wipe out the fleet at Dragonair. For those who have rambled in disbelief on this forum and who are still in self-denial, read the Fleet Profile section of the August Interim report 2009.
Rest assured though, that at the end of the day you will be offered a position with Cathay Pacific Airways, same rank and fleet, albeit at the bottom of the CX Aircrew Officer seniority list. We know the disgruntlement will diminish over time as you will realize that you will still be getting paid on the 26th of each month, on similar conditions and doing the same job. We do not expect much, if any, attrition.
Placing pilots on the bottom of the CX Aircrew Seniority list is an established practice that we have carried out on numerous occasions, most recently with the ASL pilot group and with the KA pilots who chose to join Cathay Pacific. It is convenient for us to do and does not present us with any legal obstacles.
Have a nice weekend.
