chards, honkongfooey,
with CX trying to flog the 777-200's and the leased A340-300's (and if they don't sell, the leases will not be renewed) - won't that leave an excess of crew - both cabin and flight?

N1 Vibes, I can see why you would come to this conclusion- but lets not forget that even though the game has changed dramatically recently it was only 8 months ago that we were in the midst of the biggest pilot shortage that we have seen. Couple that with the fact that we have the equal amount of new delivery aircraft to offset the disposals then no I don't believe we have an excess crew problem. If the company thought it was an issue they wouldn't be starting new cadet courses as we speak. Not fact but my opinion is that they are looking to save a quick buck short term to "keep the team together" for when the inevitable crew shortage is the next crisis.

Good god N1, have you nothing better to do with your time????
Your opinion on various matters has been duly noted. Is there any need to keep beating a dead horse?
In general, I, and the majority of pilots have nothing but the highest respect for most of the engineers and all the other staff groups for that matter. Of course there are always exceptions both ways. Now can we please just leave it at that. Next topic....

chards, cxpletive,
vitriol here = passion for the job. With the greatest respect I suggest that you also need to work on the 'few exceptions' in your community that may be tarnishing your image, rather than us grubby engineers coming in and giving the few a dusting up.
When I see the behaviour of those few here, it really does worry me about CRM. Doesn't it worry you if you were sat next to them on the flight deck?

You post here trying to look like a modern day Robin Hood, crapping on about, it's not about money for me, it's about the love of my job, and the safety of all those poor passengers, but you know what, people can spot a Bull Sh!tter from a distance and I spotted you miles away because you completely wreaked of it!
I am done arguing with you and your bum buddy. You're here on this forum most likely because you grudgingly took SLS and are venting against us now!

Gentlemen (and others) - what has any of this to do with the topic of this thread which, as most of you seem to have forgotten, is Cathay buying back shares. Talk about focus! Now please stop this childish bickering and get on with some serious bitching elsewhere. It really gets very boring listening to you guys venting your frustrations aimlessly against each other. Some serious anger management needed here! So run along and try get over yourselves and stop showing the world just how unprofessional you really are. You guys must come from 1 child families 'casue you obvioulsy have a problem getting on with other folks and have never learned to listen and discuss issues that run contrary to your own beliefs and ideals.

KRMQQ,
Agreed, however, the fact about Cathay buying back shares has been made. Do you now want to bicker and bitch about it for several pages, which will eventually make you look like a child, or force the AoA to bring up the issue with the company so we can all take action.
