CX 2009 Training Schedule -When?

[MilPilot]

When is the 2009 Training Schedule released? I have heard mid Sept. - is there anything more exact than that?

[ACMS]

They are still trying to work out how to employ more direct entry guys on LOWER wages to screw the rest of us.

Kim Jong Phils last stand.

[jonathon68]

The plan is already out.

Basically,

Airbus fleet is doing most of the upgrade courses in 2009 (all the pax commands and two thirds of the JFO courses).

Many NAM 744 guys convert to 777.

HKG Airbus guys convert to 744 (since the bus fleet is going to loose 3x 340-600 and 3x ex SQ 340-300's)

Where did you get your info from regarding the 3 leased ex SQ 340s going?

Haven't heard any plans to remove them yet.....

[jonathon68]

Ask the fleet managers!

[Night Watch]

OK....so just a rumour then.

I can't be bothered to find the exact quote but if you look through the friday telexes and the fleet newsletters back to one of those "By 2012 we will be operting....." quotes you will see there are 3 (from memory) A340-300s less than we have now. One assumes it is the 3 SQ ones going.

47 total and only 10-15 on the pax? Possibly getter even quieter?

[Apple Tree Yard]

....20 years to command....

[WhatThe?]
