There is a solution, Widecut.
Contract Compliance and a training ban. Possibly a press campaign. There are also good people on this internet forum, amongst all the tripe being written, telling those considering this appalling package 'how it is' (or how it would be for them) regarding life in Hong Kong and with the airline.
Then, maybe, the airline will consider going back to what 'core values' it used to have and pay good money for quality crew. Win/win.
This is serious business. This is about undercutting crew who have worked damned hard to get where they are, and short term management savings to enhance bonuses, to the detriment of the company. It is also about the safety of the travelling public; there are serious questions being asked in some First World countries regarding the conditions of employment, experience levels and competence of up-and-coming airline pilots.
Sanctimonious posts about how we should 'all get along' and 'stop sniping' etc mean nothing.
