The real question here is how is it possible that our illustrious airline has been persuaded that recruiting in these countries is a good idea.
Because CX is struggling to find candidates from "Traditional Regions of Recruitment" willing to accept the lowly iCadet package. These candidates see the iCadet package as so bad they don't even bother to turn up for interviews.
This is unprecedented in the history of CX.
Word on the street is the GMA (Swire, non pilot manager) is behind the push to explore "Non Traditional Regions".
