"The pessimist complains about the wind, the optimist expects it to change, the realist adjusts his sails". Most of the pilots at CX are now 'realists', and they are adjusting their sails. They are actively planning their escape to a better and happier career elsewhere. All the machinations of our management will result in nothing more than an empty shell of an airline. For that is all it will be when it has lost it's most committed employees. The fact of the matter is that they have already lost them in mind, and will soon lose them in body as well. There is an inevitability to the outcome, and the only people who don't see it are our management.
