“Some pilots” returned to HKG. Let’s leave out the embarrassing details? How many?

The ones that have personal ties to HK, which won’t be many.

Pretty sure this was the workings of GH, the "grim reaper" just carried out the orders. It's gonna bite them in the ass, but they'll never admit as such. I mean they forced PoS18 in HKG, but it woulda been a lot harder in the other base areas. Even if the unions agreed to similar terms they wouldn't have been able to change them at will as they do with the HKG "handbook". I believe 17 captains relocated and 4 F/Os. I'm gonna guess all 777 captains, probably Canadians based in US who had been in HKG prior. I doubt they will be able to tolerate the BS for long, almost everyone they knew early in their careers based in HKG has long since left that particular dumpster fire behind.

Did this guy through the same Swire Prince course as two attempt jellyfish?

Elon Musk gives Twitter staff deadline to commit to being ‘hardcore’

Elon Musk has given Twitter’s remaining staff a Thursday deadline to commit to working “long hours at high intensity” and being “extremely hardcore” or else leave with three months’ severance pay.

In an email to the social media platform’s employees, seen by the Guardian, its new owner said building the next iteration of Twitter (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/twitter) would require exceptional performance.

“Going forward, to build a breakthrough Twitter 2.0 and succeed in an increasingly competitive world, we will need to be extremely hardcore. This will mean working long hours at high intensity. Only exceptional performance will constitute a passing grade,” Musk wrote.

The message asked staff to click on a link if they want to be “part of the new Twitter” by 5pm New York time (10pm GMT) on Thursday.
Anyone who has not affirmed their commitment by that deadline, Musk said, would receive three months of severance pay

Hardly the same comparison. Musk is dealing with a bunch of lazy, woke leftist nutjobs. CX on the other hand had a hard working, dedicated and loyal work force.

And "had" is the operative word in your post.

At least Twitter paid for people to help them become what they were, CX only pays management (Swire swines) to make inept decisions.

If any major tech company was ran the way CX was is, they would have been shutdown and dissolved right now. Re: Nokia and Blackberry

Past today in a taxi, the Swire Leadership Centre in South Lantau. Wondering what the F**k goes in that walled compound ?!!

It's called indoctrination ‼️ Previously Swire, now CCP :sad:

I believe deep insertions of Sticks and Pineapples for those select few dedicated to Swire for life.
The centre is nothing new though. It's been there for a few years between Pui O and Mui Wo.

One of the Swire Houses, a perk from the 1960s still available in the 1980s and early 90s. Available to all staff, you booked the house through a phone call and were met by a delightful crone, all gold teeth, who offered to do the shopping and kept the place clean. It was a reasonable place to take the Belle du Mois, if you appreciated the District Officers Bungalow chique of the colonial times.

The one on Kau Sai Chau was more of a challenge, a kai do from Sai Kung and a promise to be picked up in two days time. Very much camping in a house, with a single cylinder diesel generator which one started and it thumped away in an outhouse until you turned in to bed. Probable purpose was to remind the spoilt expat of 1980s of how the staff in 1930s had to live all the time :}

Both were fun in their individual ways, depending on your guest choice, but they were taken away along with the Swire junks that staff could rent in, if I remember correctly, the mid 1990s. The Kau Sai Chau one was knocked down for the golf course, but it seems that Human Remains have seconded the Lantau one for an indoctrination centre as Flex88 implies.

Swire is hardly a factor at CX anymore.

With both the Swire CEO and Swire COSDO who were on secondment to CX leaving, being replaced by non-Swire individuals, it’s rather apparent where the future is. There’s hardly any Swire senior management left at the airline.

The Chairman is still Swire but the Beijing appointed deputy chairman seems to be calling the shots.

How long before GBA takes over and really throws a cat amongst the pigeons?

My guesstimation is 12-24 months, once China opens up a wee bit more.

[airbus4lyfe]

Best thing I ever did was leave CX, onwards and upwards to better employers.
