Seems that the same - "
I find it quite amusing that there are only 4 or 5 people that are continuously posting on pprune...AGAINST the recruitment ban." - might be thrown back at YOU,
The Fan Man, for those wishing to check registration dates.
Add to YOUR list of favourities our resident F/E,
TinAss, whose highly intelligent

posts ALWAYS add SO much to the direction of the debate.
The "Recruitment Ban" has - and IS - well publicised.
I doubt that there would be a pilot (who is qualified to apply) ANYWHERE in the world who is NOT aware of it.
Without a doubt, the ban has SEVERELY limited the QUANTITY and
QUALITY of applicants to CX, forcing Cathay to accept pilots who would probably have been otherwise UNacceptable.
"
Rejects", in a word!
From that aspect, the "Recruitment Ban" can be viewed as being successful!
