Some background on our Holier than Holy bet(youget)pump(edregularly)5(timesaday)..... Ever done reading of this guy's past and see where he develops these "saviour of the cadet" attitudes? I've cut and pasted this from a previous post of mine having looked back at this smug idiot's previous posts... He constantly turns to personal attack when unable to argue from an informed or logical stance. In other posts he advocates and wants to "punch up" other pilots.
So, to allow others to know this guy's platform (information previous posts. Don't trust me?.... Spend 10 mins and have a good laugh yourself):
1. a guy who went from flying school to 737 because daddy paid for the endorsement and training, then CX as DEFO on the 74F;
2. a guy who advocates the lowered and lowering conditions borne by the cadets in order to allow one group of CX pilots to suffer financial loss so as he sees it, he and others don't have to. After all, someone has to take the hit and it's better it's someone else rather than yourself (again, to quote YOU);
3. a guy who is a member of the AoA advocating for the division of rights and financial reward of some for his own personal gain;
4. a guy who offers cadets words of wisdom from how, what and when to even the role of female pilots at CX;
5. a guy who is so busy feathering his own nest at the expense of others (own admission) that can't wait to throw pure and utter abuse on this forum to anyone with a differing opinion;
6. a guy who admitted to having to change his username in case others discovered who he was and hence retribution due previous (work) history.
So pilots who interviewed 2+ years ago, many with jet time it seems, for DESO positions (respected the SO path) have been spat on and offered a job they did not interview for. They applied, studied and prepared for a job that they were successful in the screening. They were assured phone calls would be received said date. Then GFC, then CX take CEP's on at these well known conditions. They deem this NOT what they are willing to sell their professional souls/skills for.
Kids with little to no time or those who deem this OK are taking the job in droves. But just look at the thread on the questions they are asking help with for their interview: "What do your parents think about you becoming a pilot" .....or....."Doing a GS of 480 kts, how long will it take to travel 18 nm?"
So, one party is allowed their opinion by accepting these downgrading of T's & C's and the other is not by turning them down. That is your stance bet(youget)pump(edregularly)5(timesaday)??
Where do you get off that self righteous arrogant horse? You see yourself as "Defender of the Cadet" all the while your past reeks of the bastardisation of your very own profession. And you have the audacity to wave your AOA membership about! "One of the boys, eh?"
Yes, you can live in HK on the CEP wage. You can even rent an apartment in Sheung Wan for say $8k - $10k per month. It's too small for a couple let alone a family. You can't save for a financially secure future. And no, you WILL NOT enjoy the same lifestyle that the rest of the CX pilots have: something that is nothing more but is LESS than they are actually owed (considering pay increases, etc).
To those who DID NOT contribute to the lowering of our profession: Thank You (from a fellow airline pilot, not at CX but many friends who are or were).
So have an opinion, but don't dare contradict bet(youget)pump(edregularly)5(timesaday)'s opinion or he'll send his daddy's lawyers onto you! (Relax.... the writ will be served on a silver platter and his AOA lanyard attached).
