Starry eyed
So Mr. Q, your two minute boy wonder (SO) knows everything about CX and those more long termers who have contributed to this post and who have had many more years of the CX experience are all wrong?
You say he resents the suggestion that he is a boy pilot or radio operator, yet that IS what he is - he does not have a full type rating - when does HE fly the aeroplane? He is cheap labour.
Of course he is still starry eyed, for only a few short years ago his experience and qualifications would have had him peddling his credentials around numerous flying schools and charter companies.
But now he sits in a shiny jet and in a few years he will be looking at a F/O upgrade and will then become a real pilot. Only then will he begin to assimilate the experiences of life as an airline pilot and even then he will be starting at the bottom of the learning curve.
I was fortunate enough to fly with pilots who had aready completed their "apprenticeship" elsewhere and who joined CX with a wealth of experience, the experience that the paying passenger has a right to expect.
Every single contributor to this post would have had the same views of CX as your SO, when they were new to the company, otherwise why else would they have joined? It is just that over the years the management have managed to severely tarnish those views.
Having had the CX experience for many years, I know of what I write.
It will be interesting to hear in say, ten years time, what our young man's views are then. For his sake, I hope that they remain unchanged.

Cheap is as cheap does.
Your "Day in the Life of a CX SO" is for all to see via the hundreds of pages & thousands of posts screaming the ignorant dribble that you are a willinging, happy & naive part of.
Started it? You posted a question & many answered. You just don't like answers you asked for. Too bad the Lego pieces don't fit the mould your "old geezer" promised nor the peaches & cream wet dreams you have of needing the easiest path possible to fulfilling a fleeting fetish. You preach of "free speech" & "tolerance" yet your opposition to an opposing opinion reeks more of the ignorant stereotype that this iCadetship has come to represent.
It'd be a humorous spectacle when you & The Old Geezer discuss the Easter Bunny & Santa Claus. You'll come running to pprune to seek clarification!!!!
People whinge about CX because of your indignant, selfish & pathetic aspirations & what they represent to the future of a once great airline. Some stand against mediocrity & others depend on it.
