Got called yesterday and wanted a favour for an overnight; didn't have a f/o all day. In the end, they used a f/o on 1st day reserve 11:00-2300 who got called out at 16:30. Ridiculous!
I wouldn't be surprised if everyone got 8Gs plus flights and paid reserves for dec... we'll know by 23:59 tonight.

What the hell is wrong with you guys? You get your salary on time every month, you are on the cusp of a profit share & possibly 13th month, you work 84 hours per month, get 6 weeks leave per year - I can name many outfits that don't come close to that.
These forums have turned from rumour to venom, sure CX is not the same company it was 10 and its not going to change back to that ever. All I can say is that if you don't like the way CX does business then move on - simple!

You don't get it. We are promised time and time again of improvements usually tied in with us doing something in return such as unpaid leave, nothing ever comes of it, we were promised 25 year housing if we switched contracts, nothing came of it, people are told sign this new contract on reduced terms or get fired, our contract states we will get bypass pay if direct entry are hired above us, never happens, goes to court we win, judge overrules it months later after some obvious payoff. Patterns becoming worse, allowances reducing, hotels getting worse. It is the hollow promises and constant eroding of conditions and lifestyle. Profit share and 13th month is part of our contract, we should not be thankful for this, it is part of the deal we signed up for, they should be thankful for us making it a profitable company!!! How pathetic holding out on publishing the roster, seriously what sort of company does that out of spite?
Yes many outfits are worse but thats why all of us decided to move to HKG and work for CX.

Anyone wanna take a wild guess how 271 (18/11) managed to find enough crew? Glad they excluded us from the 4% payrise, obviously we don't need it according to some.

Our F/O and S/O cx271 G day heroes are operating 270 Nov 19 with a very astute AOA Captain. I hope that he realizes they are already well rested and won't need much bunk time.
Check your rosters to see if you fly with these guys that are so underworked, they don't need G days to recover

Iceman c'mon, everyone knows that working G days screws your fellow pilots out of overtime and they stay on reserve.
Do you seriously have to be in CC to not do this?
Yes I do have a life I enjoy my G days and would prefer to get called out rather than waste time never getting called out, having been rostered 5 weeks of reserve over the last 5 months.
