How will you do as an airline when you don't have a training department by the end of the year?
You are missing the point. They have a second training department in Cathay Dragon. KA trainers will be called upon to cover the shortfall. Wether good or bad, the precident is set. Many guys want to join the KA training dept. Many KA trainers would like to train in CX.
The answer, make KA trainers into CX managers. They can be then directly employed out of seniority, onto CX A330s.
Far fetched? Time will tell.
