DB the merger is already happening.
KA is fast approaching 2 years to command for new joiners and the training system looks as though it has been righted to achieve fast growth; which incidentally appears to be over CX routes. Penang has just started and Denpasar is not far away. Murmurs of other CX routes too.
The privileges you may expect from a merger of pilot groups appear to be able to be bought by KA pilots giving up certain items in their COS.
Yes, CX F/O's must be very unrepresented over your way. You appear to have given away growth and opportunity which was available for very little.
I said it years ago that KA pilots would have been stupid to merge with CX even in a fair and equitable manner. It's played out as predicted with rapid growth - which is now to the advantage of new joiners on C scale contracts and the kids they rip off the street and put straight into the RHS as MPL's. Why CX pilots would not have had the foresight to defend against this assault instead of barking away in stupidity about bottom of the list mergers?
