There's a few guys leaving KA and the message from a HKG AME was good for you, you'll live longer ! Now they aren't retiring, they will continue flying, so the message is pretty clear about the local rostering practices, work and environmental stress, even in a regional and short-haul environment.
Now you add a captain shortage and rumours of more CX flying coming KA's way, probable contract compliance, job stress due delays and inexperienced co-pilots, a new computer system which in the first month of trial builds heavy and fatiguing patterns. What else? Job insecurity, industrial hostility, minimum rest but a 1.5 hour bus ride to the cheapest hotel, fast food crew meal equivalents. And there's more !
Yeah, I think the good Doctor was is right.
