ahhh, hello management troll. Apparently your buttons been pushed? That's the problem with your entire group of failed management cretins: you can't see the truth if it struck you square in the face, mainly due to the fact that a career based on deception and lies prevents you from recognising truth. The FACTS are that it is the MANAGEMENT that has damaged this airline, possibly fatally. Through grossly incompetent financial disasters such as Fuel Hedging, Currency Hedging, to destroying our product, alienating customers, killing our frequent flier program, and now, causing a crewing crisis that is about to become critical, the damage has been done by YOU and YOURS.
The FACTS are that you and your kind have spent 25 years denigrating and marginalising your most valuable group of employees, the people who are highly skilled and usually commit their entire careers to their employer: the pilots. Then, you missed the FACT that the situation regarding a developing worldwide pilot shortage was slowly closing a vice around your long held delusion that pilots would 'always' come to and stay at CX. Then you chose that very moment to attack your most valuable group of pilots, the C and T's, just at that inflection point when most of us either don't care if we stay anymore, or have other opportunities to go to back in our home countries. FACT.
As for 'accussing' Anna and her cohorts of not taking a pay cut? Listen up moron: that is what REAL leaders do: they take the FIRST cuts BEFORE they burden their employees. You know, that old 'leading by example' thing. And as for 'Us being no better'. That comment just shows how out of touch you are. We as a group have been taking cuts FOR 25 YEARS. And regarding 'not one of you has resigned'. What planet ARE you on? The resignation rate has hit historically high levels, and is now only going to get worse from hereon in. Nearly all of the mid seniority level pilots (500 up to 3000) are ACTIVELY looking for new jobs. And guess what?, they are finding there are MANY attractive options. In case it's escaped your notice (and i'm sure it has, as you are obviously thick), CX has managed to endorse a policy that seems designed to 'chase away' their own pilots, and repel anyone with any sense from applying. Compare that to other carriers around the world who's managements have recognised the coming crewing crisis and are positively making their companies and career offers attractive and desirable. The Swire's are truly proving just how unfit for purpose they are. The young pilots around the world have had their "CX mythology" broken, and it won't be returning. The name of this airline is 'mud' in every corner of the planet. Oh, and btw, we don't have to 'tell' the young pilots to either not come here or resign, they are figuring that all out by themselves.
As for leadership amongst 'our lot'. Well, you see it here on PPRUNE, where many of us are giving those around the world, and within the airline the unadulterated truth, helping them realise that to have a stable and productive career they must move, sooner rather than later. The 'mob of chicken sh*t' hypocrites are the likes of you, Anna, Rupert et al who are attempting to pad their own bank balances on the backs of the very employees who actually keep the airline running. That is not only hypocritical, but venal and immoral. Nice company you keep. And oh, btw, your post has just shown in all it's glorious technicolour just how panicked, delusional and ultimately doomed to failure you will all be. The scales have been cleared away from our eyes, and most of us are now not only not really caring anymore, but won't even be here much longer TO care. See what you and your 'mob' have sown? Deal with it. The storm is almost here, and it will flatten your house. I realise that you couldn't make it here in London, so you're struggling in HK. Based on your hysterics, you really need to apply to the council back home while they still have jobs available for parking wardens. Now, down to the pub where I will drink a pint to the demise of you and your kind.
