If we are hoping the trainers will save the day, then you guys are living in the shadows. Some time back on yammer, a Captain out of jest mentioned something about ego's or power trips of C&Ts. It is true. Regardless if you are one of the Good guys (and I have met many in this company) or one of the Choppers, it takes a special someone to be a Check/ Training Captain.

Now these guys signed a letter taking about low experience levels and its relation to safety. This letter had no Impact whatsoever. Are these guys refusing to fly with low hour cadets? Have these guys stopped letting their loved ones use Staff travel on CX? Are these guys picketing outside CX City. Of course not. Cathay called their bluff.

Like I said, it takes a special someone to join the C&T team. And being in that position is a little to good to give up. Hey, even the Chairman with his increased workload decided to embarrass himself and ask other unions not to train us rather than leave training himself.

We are doomed.
