The decrease of experience amongst the new joiners has worked - congrats CX
Jokes aside, I feel CX pilots are missing the the new training paradigm which sees a captain with as little as 4000 hours, or just 12 months in the company, and a 150 hr MPL crewed up together, in arguably the more demanding flying within the group- the A320 operation in China. Viewed as safe and comparatively cheap, possibly by more than a factor of half when compared to a B scale crew.
Perhaps the consequences are lost in the noise of the drudgery and stress of contract compliance or staff travel overreaction/ missed opportunity, but this paradigm seems to be stonewalling CX with KA taking over your regional network ASAP. Evidence of the acceleration or clumsy nature of the process with rumors of a notice to KA pilots that I haven't had the chance to read because it keeps disappearing?
