NOTHING happens on May 31st, June 1st... Freighters to AHK & A330s to KA don't fly without pilots those airlines don't have. Put expats on local terms... Ha, think you have a pilot shortage now? Just wait until that day comes. Mass exodus!
This airline needs us "greedy gweillos" that know a thing or two about moving airliners across the globe. That won't change anytime soon. Those training our cheaper and far less experienced version of ourselves are not helping matters though. How these C&Ters are willing to put their names on a sign off of these "spiky-haired know nothings" is beyond me. I have flown with many who are nothing short of appalling. They have no business sitting at the pointy end of any airliner, much less a widebody.
The CX brand is being massively cheapened, and not just behind the cockpit door. Passengers today on many CX flights are far less safe than they were just 5-10 years ago. It's not an opinion, it's a fact. It is just a matter of time before a hull loss occurs.
