Will Oasis demise come to Cathay's rescue

Will the many fully trained 744 pilots now 'on the market' from Oasis be offered positions in CX, thereby partially solving the non - existent crewing crisis?

you got to be joking

Any pilot who has had the pleasure of working for Oasis, working alongside some of the finest individuals in the aviation industry, would need his head examining if he even considered CX as an option!! Its akin to 'chalk and cheese' Oasis HK Airlines has reintroduced the concept of enjoying your chosen occupation, treating people fairly and with respect, and most of all enjoying yourself. None of these can, or ever will, be found at Crappy Pathetic!!!

FAMILY comes first, I am not going to starve my family just because CX is Crappy Pathetic. Your " concept of enjoying your chosen occupation, treating people fairly and with respect, and most of all enjoying yourself" is not going to feed my family so maybe your head needs some examining.

since quite a few of the "Happy Oasis" Chappies came from CX and also Dragonair there must be some doubt as to wether they would be welcomed back with open arms, still no harm trying....................

Of course you can always try Korean or Air china, TNT or such, see how happy that makes everyone...................

CX has one thing that shines out above all else...................

the money hits the bank on the due date every month.....................now, that certainly makes me a happy, smiley chappie

Quite right, Size Matters. CX at least pays a monthly salary (and a better one than the large majority of competitors). Oasis was not able to sustain itself beyond even the very short term.

But I suspect we will now go into full blown airline James Dean syndrome.
Oasis will become the best employer in history...remembered almost as fondly as Peter Sutch and the times when CX was "just like a family".

Anyway, back to the golf course.

They can come back..............to the bottom of the list.

They made their beds, now they can sleep in them.

Hard but true.

Gary and Larry, and the rest:

Welcome back, if this is the life ring you need. It will keep you afloat, but won't feed you or keep you comfortable!

I've seen some good guys go to Oasis and I'm sad that it didn't workout for you. I wish you the best of luck in your NEXT job.

Sizematters,

"the money hits the bank on the due date every month.."

And thats just about the only positive thing to mentiong about the outfit - how sad - but how true!

ACMS;

I doubt anyone of them will be willing to come back to CX. Especially now - where they have realized how fun and enjoyable it can be to fly and go to work and not "just" look at a stupid bank account.

Oasis boyz - I wish you all the best - but for god sake stay clear of CX (as if you did not already know).

As the reason they left CX was probably to get away from their "problems with CX" then I doubt many will want to return. However they do need to put food on their tables so we shall see.

Some we don't need back.

Sorry but it's true.

There is a well worn saying:

People in glass houses, shouldn't play twister in the nude!

If everybody at CX loves you ACMS and you don't have any problems. Then you have nothing to worry about - do you.

In the sim with one of the 3rd floor managers yesterday..his comment as to if CX would take the Oasis boys was that they would be welcome back but on the CX Freighters based out of Hong kong...

Good luck guys

BA needs 747/777 pilots this year for any of you with Euro passports and JAA licences.

We are at war with the company at the minute but will have them straightened out by the end of the summer.

Great gig when things are going well.

Where's "The Management" with his tongue-in-cheek reality check? How do we know that Cathay won't actively recruit from Oasis, even to the Left Seat on the freighter? Nothing surprises me anymore....See DFO's update.
