In a raised voice with the most proper British accent.....

" Is that the way you always wake up a SENIOR CHECK AND TRAINING CAPTAIN at cathay pacific airways?"

Apologies for slight thread drift...

Cutting costs indeed!!!! I dare the AOA to write to the SCMP to educate Ms So as to the reasoning behind Cathay firing 50 pilots! Mind you, we wouldn't want to endanger our new found relationship now, would we???

Well all I can tell you from my 250 years of experience is that there are 3 ways to fly:
