Firstly, my best wishes and God's Speed to those of you effected by this collapse.
It does make me wonder if the top of the aviation cycle has passed?
Aloha, Oasis collapsed. Ryan Air, Easy Jet, Virgin Blue, Jet Blue all signaling significant profit drops. American economy still struggling with big industrial companies signaling profit drops. UK economy on a slow down.
The likes of these LCC's grew out of a "new market" it's that market that is first effected when things get tough.
Pilot shortage? ...I think not for too much longer. Is it time to put some money away for the storm on the horizon?

I believe that there are approximately 140 pilots at Oasis. At best, CX will pick up half of those. That equates to about the number that retired/resigned last year. The collapse of Oasis will put off the crewing crisis at CX for at best 1 year/ 18 months. Most of the Captains at Oasis were over 55, and very few will join Cathay. Emirates, the Aussie airlines and many others around the world are desperately competing for pilots. Cathay will still be scrambling to crew the aircraft for a long while yet. Incidentally, the main problem in CX is the training capacity. Not much will help that situation for quite some time....

To all those many kind people, many thanks indeed for your great comments and support over this last week during our Oasis "capitulation".
It was, indeed, very heartening to read your comments on this forum about Oasis,which, taking other issues, lets be honest, can be a little fraught and contentious at times.
Fragrant Harbour guys are tops, thank you all.
Just hope I can fly again soon.
Kind regards
JO

Lateral thinking
For you O8 guys out there who may prefer job in what has been a happier place KA may have some slots for 400 drivers given the numbers that have taken the option to go across to CX from KA.
