Latest rumor...
Hey everyone, to be honest, the A350 offer came to me as a complete surprise, just as it did to many of my Expat AND local colleagues; aditionally, my Broker actually made a very fair and reasonable upgrade offer for everyone interested.
Rumors are surging that , after hearing for months over months that the A350 fleet was supposed to remain a "pride for Vietnamese Pilots only" fleet, that there is a more profound reason why it is now becoming "Expat-Friendly". It is said that another crew, last month, pure Vietnamese, fell asleep again on the way to CDG and was rudely awakened after 45 mins without any contact... so, to sum it up, it seems that it has become an ethical and work moral problem which management wishes to resolve by letting Expats on the A350... who would have thought, some of us might actually have a real shot at the wide-body upgrade...
