What happened to curtain rod and Trafalgar

[RAT Management]

After a flurry of entertaining posts and in some cases, raw and spot on evaluation of things happening in the fragrant harbour scene.... It seems they have gone silent... Almost missing in action. Have they been silenced by a social media policy? Or have they gone to greener grass somewhere else?

[Bangaluru]

I was wondering the same thing. Traf made it very easy to identify himself through his posts so I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he was gagged.

[Trafalgar]

Not to worry, i'm still here. I've been off "unfit" :-) for the past few months. I'll be back soon enough. Needless to say, I will have a lot to drivel on about. The latest changes to the sickness policy, management changes, rostering/pay etc. Never a dull moment in the worlds most dysfunctional airline. Thanks for thinking about me. Cheers, Traf.

[Kitsune]

Oh, not how you’re doing in your shiny new job then Traf?

Thank Allah, I heard a rumour you were off to Boeing.

Trafs 62, but then you knew that didnt you Kitsune. plonker. Perhaps debate the current situation. (And btw, i doubt many people would ask after you if you stopped posting for a while, unlike Traf)

[oriental flyer]

I have really been missing Traf’s erudite posts of late . I’m sorry to hear that you are not well , don’t rush back until you are fully recovered

[boocs]

Whatever happened to 'The Management' ?

[Captain Dart]

I would suggest long retired and beyond caring.

[RAT Management]

Glad your alright Trafalgar..... Well, on the mend..... Still hoping Curtain Rod is out there.... Somewhere?

[Trafalgar]

Thanks for the consideration everyone. I must admit, having been off work for a few months has been hugely therapeutic, not the least of which is gaining some distance from the appalling level of dysfunction that is CX. Didn't mean to go into silent mode, but it was nice not having any involvement of any kind for a bit of time. Needless to say, things haven't improved in my absence. It has been instructive however to appreciate that once you turn your back on CX, the feeling of relief and peace that overcomes you is like a drug. Almost wish I wasn't coming back. I envy those who have made the decision to leave...

Almost ten years now, mate, since leaving that sloppy slope!

[Trafalgar]

You have my admiration and respect. This airline sucks the very lifeblood from nearly everyone who it employs. There is not a single happy employee in this company. Even those that profess they are "happy" are only faking it. No one could be satisfied with the lies, intimidation, threats, dysfunction, chaos, cheating, incompetence, misery and despair that emanates from every facet of this failed airline. Brought to you courtesy of the Swire's and their sycophantic management. As I have stated many times before: if you can obtain employment back home, with a reputable and stable airline, make the move as quick as you can. You, your career and your families sanity and security depend on it. Kudos to all who have taken that step already.

:ooh: Really?

Most of the pilots I fly with seem happy. I certainly am.

[Apple Tree Yard]

Of course you are Jason....

[Apple Tree Yard]

Haha....!! :ok:

[Klimax]

Probably because they are leaving soon.
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA GOOD ONE!. Funniest part is, that it's likely the truth! Good on them!

[oriental flyer]

Well I don’t know , I understand that some people who are into S&M actually pay money to be abused by someone with a whip . Yet here we all are and we are getting paid to be abused . Seems like a good gig to me
Just for clarification , I am being facetious

[FUANNA]

Oriental... whatever you're on.

Please let me try some of it!

[onetoogo]

I'm with you Jason. I'm also very happy in Cathay, as is everyone I fly with.

Trafalgar, I suggest you don't come back- you seem alot happier.:ok:

[req visual]

ha ha ha, was that a joke?

I am not so sure anyone with such perspective skills should be allowed anywhere near a flight deck..

Mitigating factors could only be that you just joined this as first job about 5 mins ago or you mainly fly your desk on 3rd floor..

The large majority around here are miserable and actively monitor the situation and make plans for option B, C and D when it inevitably gets imposible justifying staying.

[sickto the backteeth]

I for one am delighted Traf is back. This forum has been dead without him.

[Landflap]

I witnessed Traf's increasing vitreol & advised that he calm down & let it all go. Absolute silence for quite a while. Actually, a nice reply to my exhortation came first. Trust the period of illness was nothing to do with the high levels of stress caused, possibly, for caring too much. Welcome back Traf. Just do the job, finish the mission, sign the tech log, Bang on some cool jazz & pour yourself a crafty one. Cheers.
