Yammer has gone quiet and even PPrune is less active this last week, why ? My guess is that reality has hit home. Spouses have got over the shock and most pilots are now updating their cv's, tidying up their logbooks and brushing up on their interview technique.
The good news is that CX pilots are well respected throughout the industry ( except in CX of course ). Airline recruiters know the high standards we have maintained despite the constant attacks from management over the last 20 years and they admire our resilience, professionalism and oddly our loyalty ( now gone ). Theses traits are still valued in most airlines and that is why many will offer a job almost on the spot to any CX pilots who does a half good sim check ride with them.
Do not be afraid at interview to say exactly why you left. Responsible airlines want to know how to avoid their own demise and what mistakes other airlines made to cause their downfall. Unfortunately, most interviews only last 20-30 minutes so you will not have time to describe all of CX/Swire's failings. New employers applaud honesty and in this business the failings of Swire/CX is well known.

Good luck to all and happy landings in your next career.
