You need to view the safety vid listen more carefully. It says; "...as safety is our priority...." (which has no meaning at all)
It does not say"...as safety is our number one priorty....". Interesting that they would deliberately miss out the "number one" bit isn't it?

This all seems to have a striking similarity to when "the submariner" was escorted off the premises a few years ago. I seem to recall he pinned a notice on the crew room noticeboard explaining a small reluctance to bow to CMD who were allegedly" piling on the pressure.....surely it couldn't have happened again....

I am afraid I am not repeating the safety video, just the line the bosses frequently write in the weekly telex.

DFO blandly states on 7th Dec that the Medical Department will be short staffed for the next few months!
Our understanding is appreciated! Priority given to Based pilots and those actually needing to fly.
What are they doing???

Its obvious. Cathay Pacific is run by Quality Health Care. All other departments are subordinate to them regardless of any costs incurred.

Hello Robert,
You have been so supportive over the years, so much so that I would not be here now without your kind, generous and thoroughly professional attitude towards your job. You helped me tremendously through some of the most difficult times of my life. I know you were constantly fighting CMD and that RO is a thorn in the side of all of us. Please be assured you are thoroughly respected and having known you since you arrived I can say without reservation that no one has ever said a bad word about you except these people we work for. Please ensure that someone gets the word out as to where you will practice and your contact details as you will be my AME henceforth. Anyone reading this please PM me Roberts contact details.

Second coming

Appropriate Xmas gift for the pilot who has everything:

The good doc will still be doing crew medicals in HK next year.

Heard from a pal that he will be joining Vio & Partners in TST in the NY along with every bodies favorite av doc.

Can't keep a good man down!

Welcome back doc.

Excellent news, I hope it is true.
He will certainly be my first point of call for an AvMed renewal, not because he is a soft touch, but because he is the consummate professional.
See you in Jan/Feb.

Froggy,

Not a union member? How un-French of you... No wonder you don't work for AF.

Cheers.
