Every bit of "constructive" advice has been soundly rejected by starry eyed youngins. What more can one say than has already been said.
So....I guess.....enough said!
One definition of Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
It feels like we're pawns in a bigger game here. Perhaps if enough wannabees are discouraged from applying to Cathay, existing Cathay pilots can maintain their current quality of life.
That is exactly what they are trying, and repeatedly failing, to do. Of course current Cathay pilots have a union and they could take some action themselves, but that might expose them to some risk, so they'd rather you sacrifice yourself to help them out.
I for one will certainly not halt my career progression so that a Cathay pilot can make a statement to management.
Inform us objectively, or get off the thread.
Good luck with that.
