Too quick

Sunny

How come you can edit your posts without getting the "Last edited by so and so" comment at the bottom? Not only that, what's the point of posting if you think people aren't going to read what you write?

Anyway, which is better, CX or BA?

love this

i love how this thread has become the "bash the aussie/white woman" thread...

I don't like to debate, compete, argue, be humiliated, spoken down to, by some sandal wearing, overweight, debating cow. So, I finally swore off aussie, american, west european women...

And..I don't pay..upfront that is...

BA/Virgin make pilots redundant left right and centre. That is fact.
Can you point me in the direction of any information on BA pilot redundancies? Any at all?

Only voluntary in the recent past; no one has been forced out.

Very stable at the moment, cabin crew strikes notwithstanding.

Reminds me of a joke (and I only saw this thread 'cos D120Y tried to start a bash Oz chicks thread in ME forum);

Why are Aussie chicks like Christmas Trees?

Because they're shiny and glittery on the outside, but dead in the middle

BA and let me throw Virgin into the mix. Would I go there? Answer is no. Purely because I do not trust the UK Airline market enough. At the end of the day, I like the job security here at CX. BA/Virgin make pilots redundant left right and centre. That is fact.
What a load of BS. Last time I looked the chances of a mainland company taking over BA, and the plethora of changes that would bring to their T & C were pretty remote.

Sorry, can't remember who the hypocritical dick was that made the statement " so you judge all asian women by CX cabin crew " but heres a good one : " So you judge all Australian women by your ex wives ? "

Sorry you sad gits but the fact that you were married to some overweight, overbearing, unintelligent Australian girl is ACTUALLY a direct illustration of what sort of women you no-personality losers attract, ( yes I am sure all of you would prefer Wing Bo Kit to Jenn Hawkins, Elle McPherson, Naomi Watts, Miranda Kerr etc etc etc Can you name the last Chinese supermodel or Miss Universe, Whats that I hear ? crickets ? )

Just remember this fact trendsetters, plenty of blokes have pulled hot, intelligent, nice breath Aussie girls and even married them, the fact you CANNOT is all about you, not them.

Now you are in the land of extreme greed you actualy have interest from someone who is less than 70Kgs.( with the body and personality of an ironing board )
and most of them want one thing, a ticket out of this over crowded, polluted hole.

Enjoy

Actually hongkongfoeey that was me that made the comment about judging Asian women by CX cabin crew. Get your facts straights before calling someone hypocritical because I've never been married to an Aussie girl and please note how I have not specifically attacked Aussie women in any of my posts.

Most of the comments here stems from several experiences with western women, not just one bad marriage. Your comments of "with the body and personality of an ironing board" or "halitosis" just proves you've never interacted with an Asian woman beyond the work environment, so you are in no position to comment. Most of us here have at least dated Western and Asian, so our comments are certainly relevant, where as yours have a racist undertone to it. Word of advice, don't knock it until you try it, and most certainly don't comment until you've tried it. It is your loss really.

Judging by your last post though, and how it struck a nerve, sounds like you are one of our Aussie woman pilots, or perhaps you are married to one of the overweight cows described in a previous post and your little fragile ego is bruised.

I would like to include a few words that you deliberately omitted on your previous post, should read;
Just remember this fact trendsetters, plenty of blokes have pulled hot, intelligent, nice breath Aussie girls and even married them, for a very short time before they were taken to the cleaners, the fact you CANNOT is all about you, not them.

[QUOTE]Now you are in the land of extreme greed you actualy have interest from someone who is less than 70Kgs.( with the body and personality of an ironing board )/QUOTE]

Call me a "sizest", but...HELL YES I am attracted, interested and want someone who weighs less than 70kgs... unless you are over 1'79 (5ft 10) 70 Kgs is a large woman.

I always have had a rule...a woman should weigh at LEAST 20 kilos less than me.. (I am 85 kilos)...

The sizest, out

Nicely put....I'm still chuckling.

I felt much the same way you did reading HKF's post....it seemed to contain a very defensive and feminine tone, a very "where have I heard this all before" feeling came over me.

I wonder why? Hmmm......
