Truss.... As per the other replies to your post - you are failing to consider the bigger picture of the CX then and the CX now. What's more, why is it no so obvious??!!
I bet the ex CP loved his time at CX. Why wouldn't he??
He was not on C-Scale.
He came to CX with experience.
He was paid as per the market rate for (expat) widebody airline pilots, and as per his role.
He received a housing allowance in line with the what he deserved.
He was able to save, look after a family (I assume) and educate his kids, retire comfortably.
On top of all that, he was the boss.
We could go on but Capt Undies put it so much better.
Now, which part of his career (anywhere!!) applies to the 2012 iCadet offering????
Ask him if he "enjoyed" the 49ers episode? Ask him if he "enjoyed" seeing his pay cut numerous times while those cutting it received bonuses? Ask him if he "enjoyed" the phone calls, letters and threats of "sign or be fired / never to be promoted"? Ask him if what he thinks of his bosses lying in court? Ask him if he "enjoyed" the instructors at AD having their signed contracts torn up?
Odd when a bigger picture is unveiled.....?????
