Dear HA
I had vowed never to post on this bulletin board again but your comments have raised questions and I would appreciate an explanation from you.
First may I state I have little empathy with the more extreme characters who post on this forum from either side of the dispute. You should note that the views of Shorty are just as extreme as those who rant and rave from the opposite end of the spectrum.
My curiosity has been raised because your postings are rather surreal. You seem to be suggesting that you may be developing a fear of flying with CX because of poor labour relations between cockpit crew and management. Whilst it is evident that most pilots are far from happy with the current direction being taken by management it is far from evident how this could impact on safety. The pilots of Cathay Pacific are among the most capable and professional in the world and this does not change because an industrial dispute is in progress.
It is curious that you mention the pilots on your YVR JFK sectors were Vancouver based and those on the other two sectors were not. How can you possibly know where any CX crew are based unless you know them personally? Are you sure you are not one of those posters who live at the end of the spectrum? Perhaps this is your attempt to use the "safety" weapon which the AOA is accused of keeping in their armoury of industrial weapons.
I cannot believe that an intelligent member of the travelling public would bother to write such drivel on a pilots bulletin board. Much less can I believe that you fear flying with such an outstanding airline.
You are not a believable character in my view sir.
