And for those not aware of what a P1X rating allows, the SO is permitted to sit in the control seat for t/o & landing but still not permitted to touch the controls. (Correct me if I'm wrong).
Guess which other bastion of high standards of airline safety does this: AIR INDIA. So CX is now stooping that low it seems.
Yet again CX will find a way to manipulate rules & procedures in definition or interpretation and even go so far as to create new ones to suit the chase for profits & managerial bonuses.
What need or desire would CX have to promote an SO to (J)FO when they can occupy that control seat for so much less in renumeration? If anything this would INCREASE time as SO on a P1or2X rating which as mentioned countless times is useless due being unrecognized outside the CX / CAD bed-pal relationship.
