IF AHK took the freighters...then our freighter only Captains could go with them while staying on the Veta seniority list. This was done before with the old AHK. CX officers were assigned to fly AHK aircraft.
Having said that, rumours abound in the training centre that a VLA (pax) aircraft is on the way to CX and not the A380. Apparently they are to be leased. The rumour of A380s from Malaysian has been going round a while, but with the introduction of the A350 there is no way they could do the A380 as well. The 747-8i would slot right in...
Point being - don't believe ****e until they pitch up on the ramp.
