I hope not. I quite like flying with KA and that would be a sure fire way of ruining their superior service.

Like haven't we doing this already? In the oily rag dept we are - since the entire engineering team at KA are all CX employees.

Anybody who thinks different about any other KA department should look at the jogging path along the waterfront, it was all dug up about 3 or 4 years ago, that's when they put the strings in from CX City to KA House, since then it's just been a puppet show.....

Best Regards,

Devil

I believe anything would be an improvement on the production of "Julius Caesar" rendered daily on the 3rd floor of the Boathouse if you believe these forums!!!

don't confuse brand strategy with internal structures.

of course it will happen...

all Dragon 330 CN's will be stuck on bottom of list to fly CX's 330s. F/O's will be given fast commands on CX Birds. CX F.O's will all be Cat B'd and denied bypass pay..then will be offered commands on the 320's for say...20 years.

And what happens to the route rights...?
I am sure the competition will be queueing up to bid for the sell off..??
How many would CX get back...???

I remember the 'Dog Food' analogy of the 1960s. The dog food company had a big pipeline, into which they fed the basic ingredients for their staple dog food. Downstream of that, they introduced some other ingredients for their mid-market product. The final addition, downstream yet again, introduced some minor ingredients for their premium product.

They made a sizeable profit on the staple product, a larger percentage profit on the mid product and a huge profit on the premium product.

You will all end up working for the same pedigree company, but they will retain the brand names to pretend there is a difference and maximise profits.
