Maria Yu Chi-sum, the airline's corporate communications manager, said, "The airline is expanding quickly."
Now was a "superb" time to join the airline, she said. "During Sars in 2003, we had to park many planes in the desert. Last year, because of the economic downturn, all our staff had to take no-pay leave of two to four weeks. But as the economy has rebounded and our airline is expanding, you can get promoted much faster now than before.
More management bulls#*t. What have they been taking in CX communications!
S/O's currently taking +4 hrs to upgrade & it's only going to get worse.
Did Miss Chi-sum miss the memo containing all the reasons why time to command is going to be much longer than 10yrs.
1) RA65
2) New FTL's designed to reduce crewing levels
3) Freighter aircraft being sold to Air China Cargo
