S22,
The problem is not what KA is doing, it is what they are not doing. With the current fleet they need to do another 170 hours
a day to be operating the aircraft at the same efficiency as CX.
If CX sends 3 aircraft to KA, they will only be flying on average as much as 2 CX aircraft. Send 6 across, they will only do the flying of 4. Get the picture, sending aircraft across it makes it only worse for the group.
Air Hong Kong send three aircraft across, they will fly equivalent to one CX aircraft.
If KA were as efficient, or more efficient than CX it would make sense to send aircraft across as a strategy to expand, however sending aircraft across to an organisation that is less efficient reduces capacity.
Comparing long haul fleet utilisation to that of a regional is akin to comparing a wet sock to a peanut factory.
CX gets the same average productivity across the board because the aircraft spend more time flying at night, even the aircraft which only fly regionally.
MtM, dont forget you described the majority of CX pilots as "The sooner you arrogant, sexist, homophobic, racist pricks die out the better. Perhaps then the professional could be put into 'professionalism' with regard to our industry. Putting an end to the ill-informed, lay the boot in, devour your own drivel that has filled this thread.
