Even now, they simply can't get the people and no surprise there I suppose!
So the same people that have rejected the iCadet offer will probably get a DEFO offer in the near future and leapfrog the ones that accepted the iCadet crappy package. They will be in HKG eventually enjoying full expat benefits as FO while the iCadets are still making bunks without any housing. Please remember, SO upgrade time is running at 4 to 5 years, while DEFOs can come back to HKG at 3 to 4 (more likely 4 since COS08).
I guess that you are paid what you are worth?

I doubt they have any real want or need to upgrade the icadets. It's really just the cheapest and most cost effective way of satisfying the "3 man" crew requirements on any long-haul operation. 2 men you can't get away with paying nothing (so grudgingly they pay), and one autopilot monitor who will accept a bag of peanuts and a coke and "hey presto", CAD satisfied.

Cap'n Toss, yer blood's worth bottling.
Now that you have the gobby FOs in their place, and, even better, the FAs on their knees in front of you, it's high time you turned your attention to the Poms.
Grab a jet to Perth, where that failing Boyz Band "Ricky and the Mongrels" are booked to perform next week. Crack a few heads with your legendary Red Stratocaster and give them the benefit of your sagacity to help them get their Ashes hauled.
Respect!

Another gem, Toss.
Can we now look forward to a climactic episode where you show us how you stick it to a Command Candidate in the Cockpit or the Sim?

Ahh.....another pilot hater.
To them, the past twenty years have been a wonderful experience, cutting us down to size....
What comes after we're working for free...a fly for food programme?
