It's been a while but I believe CX has previously offered to pay people to give up their leave.
Anyone remember the details of that because it is one of the last cards FOPS has to play?

Well make it worthwhile, if that is going to happen. Funny how a few years ago it was SLS, and now it might be offers to buy our leave back. Who manages the management?

SIA recruiting indians for their Cadet Pilot Programme why CX does not want to go to India ?

Im sure that there are a few thousand desperate, jobless, well trained Indian Pilot's who will be happy to join the Cathay Pacific Cadet Pilot Programme.

The trick that SIA uses is that a cadet can be placed into SIA Cargo, Silkair or even Scoot today only AFTER he has been through the interview. So whilst the cadet may have the BIG dream of flying the 'cracked' winged A-380s, he might end up in Scoot with the Star Trek uniforms on a significantly diff pay scale, similarly with Cargo. The reactions by the general public in Singapore was as expected, up in arms with the notion of giving jobs to outsiders and not to locals. But these days, parents put their 150K into a sure thing like a university education providing security in a degree as opposed to a flying license, so go figure...no disrespect to Indians or Pakistanis etc...

I have a relative in NUS doing research about the vocational aspirations of young Singaporeans. Apparently a lot of young Singaporeans do not really aspire to be pilots as they are well aware of the ****ty deals a pilot gets as well as poor career progression. They rather go to the universities and get tertiary qualifications which will allow them to become their " own bosses " later in life. They are savvy and they know a pilot's life sucks!

True, but she was terminated quite a few years back. I believe she's now flying for a LCC in India.

Heard EWR was delayed because the shaky economy, and Moscow loads have been so low some flights have less than 100 pax.

Awesome! Can't wait to fly with Vish320 and CloudRipper!!
Those multi thousand hour DESOs of yesteryear had no prior experience so it's good to see RH etc have remedied the situation!

EK tried recruiting in those regions along with a large number of regional jet Capts from the States and it has bitten them badly as a few years down the line many have failed or are unsuitable for command according to EK! That is from a recruitment manager in EK but who knows how true!

The Ryanairsation of Pilots T+C's continues worldwide....

CX don't care if the guys and girls they recruit today have issues with commands in 10-15 yrs from now as they see the writing on the wall, that is Beijing will own the whole thing by then and it will their problem. CX need Pilots now but to keep profits up and help bonuses /sale price of airline , they just want to fill the seats at the lowest possible cost. Only my opinion .

Will create a new reality when the CN or RQ needs a break and mister "I brought 80 hrs of flying experience with me" gets to mind the store.
