Beware AHK Applicants
Be advised that the AOA (union representing over 1700 Cathay pilots) will be taking issue with the operation of 747-400 freighters by AHK. It is a violation of the CX pilots' CoS scope clause and previous AOA greements wrt AHK as an A300-600F operator.
As a new hire onto the -400F at AHK, you will represent the outsourcing of Cathay positions. As such, I would not expect to be well treated or highly regarded. I think it is better for you to know this ahead of time. Cathay has an ugly history over the past 15 years with a company facade called Aircrew Services Limited (ASL). Might want to ask some of those pilots how they were treated back in the late 90's, 00's, and even today post ASL integration.
