go sick when you are rostered for one of them! Soon they will realise that they will cost them more money on the long run.
The other thing is that they can only exercise their stc privileges for 12 months after they have flown the aircraft.

@Trafalgar
Seeing you as one of the harshest critics of the company's tactics during this latest dispute I was interested to read you supporting the introduction of SSIs. I can only assume it's because a number of them are your mates that you even considered writing such an ill-advised piece in the first place. Frankly, sending yourself to the sin bin is a cop out and your original post on this thread makes me think that all that you've written previously was simply rhetoric.

Abnormally quiet old Trafalgar is now. Maybe he realized he was taking the piss. Sooner or later, the colours always shine through. Sorry mate, but you either had a major brainfart or you've been BSing us this whole time. Which is it?

I agree with the Froggie
I won't do any rating sim unless it's with a genuine Cathay check captain.

Cop out...? Ok, I bow down before all of you who are sooooo erudite that you have never posted something without quite thinking it through clearly. I acknowledged that I had not taken into account that they were doing checking as opposed to just training. I acknowledged I was wrong. But go ahead, keep bashing away at me. If it makes you feel better....

Give it a rest
Traf...
Thank you for seeing the light. While we all are trying to see the "big picture" sometimes we need to take notice of the smaller details that the Swire "management" style try to backdoor everybody. It's just the way they the've done business for 150+ years and they can't help themselves. Something like death by paper cuts....

Yep, noted Flex. Had the wrong end of the snake on this one. I was just a bit frustrated with the issues becoming so personal. Some of the guys I know and respect, but I completely agree that it is ultimately a CX strategy designed to undermine the TB. I was a bit blind to that initially, so humbly acknowledge that. Too much sacrifice made by too many people to want to see that compromised. If it's any consolation, the numbers involved won't really relieve the pressure on the company to any degree. KA took almost 5 years to get the contract they did (better than ours!), so i'm in it for the long haul. I appreciate the effort everyone is making, sorry I appeared insensitive to that. I think most know by my rantings that I am pretty pro-AOA and it's efforts.

Everybody is on the same page (I hope) and it can get emotional. I just hope we can all keep an open mind on "all" the details and don't get caught bent over in the shower because that is exactly the way they do business.

It's confirmed. The Skull's back as an Airbus SI. From CX Management Star Chamber tough guy, to running Australia's CASA, to 'King of the Kids' in a lurching box.
Pathetic. They really must be desperate.

Great to see the skull back at CX. How many more careers can he ruin of those who don't massage his massive ego?
The fact that they are re-hiring this psychopath, shows how they feel about the aircrew. He is the worst trainer I have ever seen next to MFL, he should have been placed in a padlocked, padded room years ago.

Don't think they need a professional licence. They just need to be checked out by the other inmates in the asylum called 'Cathay Management".
Be very afraid of the Skull. Short fuse, big ego, point to prove and in charge of your career when his has gone pear shaped? His 'unreasonable behaviour' has been tolerated in the past ( even by the CAD) so don't expect any support from anyone if you turn up and find yourself failing something important.......

In years past, whenever an STC became a sim instructor (such as loss of medical cases), they were allowed to conduct regulatory events in the sim for one year after their last flight in the aircraft or the expiry of their letter of authority as an authorized examiner, whichever occurred first.
Sounds like CAD has yet again changed the rules in favour of CX to allow these individuals to re-qualify as STC's in the sim only.
Of course none of these sad pricks will decline the offer to conduct PC's, it will be a big boost to their egos since they clearly have nothing else going on in their lives.
