Stagecoach Driver,

I have just been informed that the Capt has been asked to submit his resignation and the FO (another check capt) has been returned to The Line for 6 months.
Is that resignation from the Company full stop or just from the role of B777 CP?

Edit: paste from NTC deleted after due deliberation - we've all read it anyway I guess...

A bit harsh I think.

Two weeks ago NR thought it a great flypast and included 2 photos in the Friday report, now they sack the CP.

A sad day for the 777 fleet.


I'll bet Kim Jong Phil did the honors, and probably loved doing it too.

Let's hope they pay off the PF enough compensation along with his termination so he isn't tempted to exercise the legal avenues of appeal.

Now, that could open up a real can of worms...

For his circus stunt flyby at least Maverick was promised a job flying Cargo planes full of rubber dogsh@t out of Hong Kong.

It seems no such luck for our former B777 CP.

If so sack NR & Kim .. phil aswell

Harsh for a decent CP - thought he did not follow procedures correctly (anyway we don't know all facts yet) etc..

So in media & public light & setting an exsample etc Gone..

On that point why not sack NR & PW since they are up to no good in contributions to maximise the growth of this airline for our & shareholders interests.

So many lost opportunities so little time..

Life sucks .. Where is my top train set.

That's a bummer.

Bit faster and a bit higher still looks more spec. Those huge 777 donks would have sounded great at full song.

Few Kiwi cowboys...

The youtube video has been removed. Must have cost a pretty penny for CX to do that...............
