I would suggest anyone with an ounce of sense gives this post the complete disregard it merits. Oops, after mine of course.

Talking

How painfully, painfully, embarassing! (CX SO's post that is) At least some of the management wind-ups can be difficult to tell from the real thing.

THAT one was so laughably obvious it qualifies as comedy!

I'm sure glad this forum was available for you to "let some friends of mine know what it is like here in cathay"!!

lol

Those are pretty strong accusations fw. If you know so much why don't you give us the names.

Even if any of that was true, which I seriously doubt, those involved would be contractually entitled to a D & G procedure, don't you agree?

That is the truth.

another planet perhaps?

benji25 is cabin crew along with small wing i have contacts and friends whom they are known to. Cx s/o i don't know what course you were on but i can tell you i have had no problems since joining CX. i am not married but have been introduced to a number of new friends and the experience has been good, so far. Captain Barley does not pose a problem as he is known to the Company and has a right to voice his opinion it matters not as there will soon be many barley scabs here in honkers. again i would like to join the AOA but have been advised to settle in first. please let us go about our work and pay off our debts. it will all turn out well in the end.

well you turn your back for one second and look what happens..

i have never known about this type of computer forum until i joined cathay so to answer one of you who say that i should have read about cathay etc before, well i just didnt know where to look. having come to hong kong i now am faced with the situation that i am in. i take objection to all and sundry trying to misrepresent what i am trying to put across, which is that cathay pacific is, at the moment , not the place to come to. all i am saying is if i had my time again i would have waited until there was a resolution to the current politicking and then joined once the ban had been lifted. i am sure that many of you disbeleive me, but i am sincere and now am more certain that all that i read about the draconian tactics of cathay pacific management are completely true.

i await your scathing reply.

CX S/O: There is something called CREDITABILITY which I find somehow lacking.. funny how you've only JUST managed to find the forum now, right in the thick of things..

Provide us with some crediability, and you may get a different response...

And if it is just a HKAOA windup, I have to say that the HKAOA is in danger of sinking to the same level as Cathay Pacific Management....

well i am afraid miss cypher that i do lack credibility. if credibility is to you to be an old hand to these sort of computer forums than i certainly do lack it (unlike your credible 36 contributions). i am new to hong kong and i had not heard of pprune until recently. look..... at the end of the day you can say what you like about me, it is not for me to lecture to you. i am just telling it like it is for me. i just wish i had chosen to hold off until later. if i had known more then i certainly would have. i have said it before cypher that i am now unable to join the hkaoa, and i never will be able to. whatever you think about me , i just want for once the facts from someone at he coalface to be said.

Stinky Harbour forum or no, you would have to be completely out of touch with reality to not have at least an inkling of what things are like at CX before you came. Are we all really to believe you were just toiling away on the Navajo in Namibia or whatever until CX called and offered you a job? And then when you got to Hong Kong, lo and behold, an industrial dispute? And so now that you finally stumbled across PPrune you feel bound to "warn" prospective applicants?

The credibility issue is valid IMO. But if you really are that crestfallen that CX hasn't turned out to be everything you expected then you have my pity. Guess you'll just have to struggle along on that 340 S/O pittance...

CX S/O:Well, Mr Cypher actually...

No, I'd say creditability is to be able to provide evidence that you really are a CX S/O, that joined after the date of the ban.

I haven't said a thing about you, all I've done is made a observation that what you are saying is lacking in creditability.. I prefer not to personally attack other posters to these forums.

Another observation that I would like to make is that the more you write posts like the last post you made, you will only serve to further degrade your creditability.

Cypher, I really wish you wouldn't use the noun creditability when you actually mean to say credibility. It kind of degrades your own credibility.

creditable (adj.) : bringing or deserving credit, honour or esteem; creditability (n.)
credible (adj.) 1./ capable of being believed; believable 2./ worthy of belief or confidence, trustworthy; credibility (n.)

Well Sir Shiraz

It may appear that way I must admit. After reading the posts on the harbour I am very interested in the place. The fragrant habour must an exciting place to work these days. Hopefully in a few months , there could be a change for the better.

GOOD SUCCESS TO THE AOA
