CX270

Murphy was right, if it's going to happen, it's going to happen at the worst possible place, i.e. REVKI...

Everybody's safe, another day saved by the boys. Good job guys!

I wonder what Karaganda is like this time of the year...?

Thumbs up "It's niiiice!"

Oh the simple joys of a radio call to a Kazakh ATCer...

"YEK SHEMESH, we have Mayday yes! Please have fire services and 4th best prostitute in all of Kazakhstan for our arrival.... HIGH FIVE!!!"



I know: hat, coat, door.

Would anyone care to elaborate? Should I jump in my war bird and fly up there to give the lads some mentoring as they wait for assistance?

Nice Place!

Sounds like a great place, from Wiki:

Karaganda was often used as the punchline in a popular joke in the former Soviet Union. Karaganda is fairly isolated in a vast area of uninhabited steppe, and is thought by many to be "the middle of nowhere". When used in the locative case (Караганде), the final syllable rhymes with the Russian word for "where" (где), as well as with a Russian obscenity used to answer to an unwanted question "Where?". Thus the exchange: "Where is it?" "In Karaganda!"

Interesting that the aircraft was HOP which was mentioned in last week's fleet newsletter... I'll just leave it at that.

CTP,

suggest better if you have one in your vast hangar collection, to fly there in a fomer Soviet Bloc manufactured bird, otherwise you may get a 'warm reception' from the 24 hot-standby Mig's on station!

Best Regards,

From the AOA update. Crew will operate after min rest back to hong kong...WTF!!! Surely crew control could get some of our G Day workers to go there and operate back with no rest!!!
They obviously do not need the rest day!

FLY747 Are you a Russian Spy or a Russian Pilot?

Good joke. I hope these guys see the humour.

Grow a brain

Coolio,

All you achieve, by putting an internal company post like that on a public forum, is to ensure that information like it is not shared with us in the future.

There's always one, but two?

All you guys are doing is preventing us from gaining valuable knowledge in the future.

Too late, it's all over the internet:

Incident: Cathay Pacific B744 near Karaganda on Nov 28th 2010, loss of cabin pressure

So much for keeping company info confidential...

Especially when every shameless, lazy, pathetic, dim-witted, Sherlock-Holmes-wannabe aviation journalist reads the hot pile of monkey cr*p we all write on these forums like gospel in search for a quick dose of cheap sensationalism which would help him get a miserable promotion without having to suck his boss' c%#*.

The FD crew at CX will just have to learn (if that's possible) that these details will be published sooner or later...if not on the web by jurnos, then by SDR reports that are generated by MRO's etc on a somewhat daily basis...and find their way to the web, eventually.

HongKong maintenance...not what it used to be.
