My question was would he be entitled to recieve his provident fund, eg 100%of it?
Nothing about whats right or wrong and all that - just in relation to CoS. Im sure there will be other guys out there knowing the answer - as he is surely not the first one to sacked from the worlds most admired airline
Yeah I suppose its pushing it a bit to just not show up for a flight - on the other hand there are other dudes on standby (or should be) and cathay didnt seem to care to much back in 2001 when they destroyed the lives of 49pilots..
Maybe for a sim-ride or something like that.. Just call screwcontrol and tell them u feel unhappy dont wanna miss The Simpson on tellie..
I dont see what the guy has to explain to his new airline, do you really think all companies are so anal. Me, dont think so.

When it comes to employing pilots yes, they all are and it is usually done by a 'phone call, you are being naive if you think they don't.

I was pretty stupid at age 27 myself and set out to right the world's wrongs. Takes a while to grow up.
It sure does takes a while to grow up, hang in there! I am sure your turn will come.

One thing, and it may only be a few, that Ive learned "growing up" is that people who uses the word naive - very often are just that themselves.
And no. I dont think, that all airlines are neither anal nor make phone calls. But maybe they should. Its called discretion, mate. Most companies will appreciate the fact that the prospect is still employed by another company. Cathay never called my previous employer - and thank god for that!!
So dont be so worried. Have fun.

Who really cares HOW he left. The fact is he left. It's another mark on the tally. I only hope they've got a big black board and a lot of chalk, because they will be drawing a lot more lines through a lot more names in the next year or so..........................Too many opportunities out there that don't include " must be willing to humbly consume ones own excrement at the companies discretion" in the Conditions of Service.

Who goes around comes around
The aviation community is relatively small, so word gets around; and someday his former [and future] employer(s) will learn what a D!ckhead he was at CX for walking off the job without notice.

You mean just like the community has forever learned what dickhea.s CX was when they randomly fired 49 pilots? Because the community has certainly learned that!
I dont think you are right anyways - dont think they will know. Its not a big deal anyways.
Cheers.

Funny industry we work in. When it's time for furloughs or sackings, the company never think twice. But when you found other/better opportunities, it is considered as "disloyalty".

and then again...
Cant say i totally agree with how this chap went about it but hey i dont know how he has been treated by CX. The fact of the matter is, is that we have options now that we never had and that can only be a good thing. The company has created this lack of loyalty and as someone said a while ago about the union, "management get the union they deserve", can also be appied to staff and their loyalty!!!
My loyalty left with 49 guys. I am here to get out of it what i can. When and how i leave will be hopefully under my choosing!

Just clear something up for me. Is it your contention that to work for CX everyone has to be a subservient yes man? You are an absolute crack up. Keep it coming I look forward to reading your rants.
Pilots quit airlines everyday in various ways for various reasons. This guy just chose to burn any bridges with CX, so what? This is a reflection on him a lot more than a reflection on CX.

Ahhh H23...................still here I see. I'll give you just one thing............you actually did something...........so good on you I guess you walked the walk. However if I had a dollar for every time I heard someone say they were leaving I'd be able to retire now
I too have thought of leaving Cx for other pastures but at the end of the day they wont be greener than here. I've made my bed and am now sleeping reasonably well, although a pay rise is damn well over due.
cheers.
p.s. when do you actually leave Cx and join easy jet then?

Not a lot. The same handful of people out of a thousand plus pilots keep on ranting and raving about CX and the terrible injustices heaped upon them. These individuals will never be happy anywhere so don't judge Cathay by what you read on Fragrant Harbour.

An expanding airline with a shrinking seniority list? How does that work?
But then again, it is not wise to believe everything written on the internet.
