I think the A350 arrival and recruitment will spice things up a bit locally. Im convinced that a number of cashed up KA pilots would love to join on A350Long haul. There's a particular bearded A330 trainer who comes to mind. Just what you want , the KA training department shifting its antiquated philosophies to HKA!
I think the upcoming process of reporting direct to the aircraft is a masterstroke of pilot retention. The management survey of a few years ago showed that KA pilots were more satisfied with their jobs if they could avoid management interaction. No more KA House has bought a few years for many !
