With >16 years to CMD in CX it may be a gd option
Time CMD ? 15 or 20 years poll? Where are the facts?
CX are only doing moderate expansion & interested in setting up subsidiaries.
Thus net fleet growth (New - replacements) will not nearly offset Age 65.
Also many many pilots joined 2000-2001 ( along with ASL coming online)
Means that alone would have pushed CMD out a few years. Now Age 65 and a more conservative net fleet expansion will certainly put this figure in the high teens, or even 20's for S/O's.
With the economy is improving and >16 years to CMD in CX.
Together with continual degrading of contracts (Not that it matters anyway, since they just ignore them) It may mean that now is a good time to look around. I believe hiring is starting again at Etihad, US, Korean it may prove a good move if you want a CMD.
RQ hrs on heavy a/c helps..
On that matter has anyone got real facts on age demographics in CX?
