T,
Respectfully 99% of the people in CX have never worked at an airline with a CMP.
What you have now is not a CMP, it is costing them a lot of money because it is very inefficient. The current system has partial crashes on a daily basis. It does not cope.
The person who selected that system told people he knew what he was doing. The new CMP vendors have shown he has cost the airline a lot of money and also it's ability to grow.
It's inefficient because a person mentioned in that article like many long serving CX and Swire employees have been more concerned about empire building in their own department rather than what is best for the airline.
The CMP will see most of the CC empire reassigned. Most roster changes and reserve callouts will be fully automatic.
CX has so many pilots that have no idea about what a CMP is, if you want to learn the real substance contact your AOA director of rostering.
Now if you want to end up with a s$&t system, concentrate on the past and don't get involved with the development.
There is a good post on the forums what happens when a pilot body is kept napping concentrating on the past and lost sight of what is needed from their CMP. The results are horrible.
It's your choice (not the GC, not the company) to take charge now and voice what you want as an end result. Otherwise you will end up what you are given and it will not be pretty.
It's "easier" to get things included during development next to impossible once rolled out.
You have been warned.
