No 255 is not part of the 3 man trial. This was crewed by 4 crew.

It's going to be fun when this happens over the pole!! Only a matter of time me thinks. WTF is HAECO doing with our Airplanes, Boeing may need to step in and sort this mess out CX might get the message one of these days the product is crap the management is crap the maintenance is crap yet they still try to blame the pilots because our shareholders and marco members are walking out the door How many more diversions do we need to make

Come on Mr Chu do your bloody job and fix this ****show

And don't divert into Thule they are still debating the minima if it's 280 or 310 feet.
Until then they won't issue the charts onboard.

Something like that anyhow..

Way too many 777 engine problems lately. You have to start wondering about sabotage after a point.

It's not just diversions. While listening out on company frequency , in the 20 minutes we were on frequency , 2 flights disembarked passengers due to " undetermined " technical delays

And the 'LEAN' project for engineering is only about to be implemented.

How worse will it be?

Someone should ask Thomson what she would have done in these circumstances. Oh - sorry - she wouldn't know would she?? CAD?? Standard procedures my arse! MTBF would normally make HKG the 'nearest suitable' but with the Cathay induced HAECO cutbacks who knows what will happen to the other engine! And so the time bomb ticks.
Don't say we didn't tell you…………….

Whenever you find yourself looking towards HKCAD for overseeing HK aviation just remember, "On the CX Payroll, On the CX Payroll"....

Be fair. You fly planes, ENG fix them. They are not fixing planes. Instead they are drowned in meaningless meetings showing pointless powerpoints on how to fix planes.

LEAN in ENG? Start with the Director. The guy struts around like he owns the people.

They should have listened to cxorcist all those years ago and ordered A380s. A couple of extra engines never go astray
