And yet again, another incident of selling USD $16000 first class tickets for about $1500. (oh....only about a 92% discount :rolleyes:). At the same time our management is attempting to strip out the last remaining value in the pilot career at CX, they are happily selling the family silver for pennies. Why is it that only the pilots of this airline are held accountable? Every other department can wallow in mediocrity and incompetence, but the pilots are apparently "the problem". To my colleagues: let's send this appalling offer back to them with a resounding NO, and at the same time suggest they get the rest of their house in order first before coming after the only group in the airline that actually seems to know how to do their jobs properly. NO.

The big take away here is CX management have decided that the pilot group will subsidise their incompetence and thus far they are correct.

This is getting comical. Yet, they will be patting each other on the back because the load factor at the front end of the cabin are up. #TTW

Again the laughing stock of the aviation world but the problems are much deeper than this. Their IT department cannot find the error source so expect some great deals approaching CNY. The data leak is just the tip of an IT meltdown.

How clever of CX. Let five or ten of these "mistakes" happen, then have someone reveal these bargains on social media. THEN enjoy hundreds of thousands dollars free advertising all over the world.

No, they really are that dumb. Don't doubt it for a second.

....... not sure any airline would like to hear the points raised on CNN tonight ....... Questions raised along the lines of what does this say about other aspects of the co.

Easy answer. Incompetence at nearly all levels. Our management can own it.
