Yet more evidence that CX is mismanaged

Re the above:

Both the "Friday Liar" and the "Le Dried Out French Roll" slathering praise on the now departed (early) Airbus Dancing Buffoon...

Do I need to say more....

Yet more evidence that CX is mismanaged

A "SURPRISE" retirement party for the Dancing Buffoon(video now out) happening soon...?? Don't stand in the hallway as you might get trampled by those running in the opposite direction to the "sign up here" desk on the gutted 3rd floor. Problem is, he's not retiring... when it turns in it's ID card, there will then be cause to celebrate..


Can you say "DYSFUNCTIONAL" OMG !!!!!!!

Flex88,
The document showing his new citizenship can be downloaded from a New Zealand government business filing website where Cathay filed a notice regarding a change of information in its directors.

Quite a few internal openings that look like jobs people were "let go" from.

Curioser and curioser.....or maybe not.

Perhaps the vacancies are directed at the HPE consultants! I am sure that having seen the well intentioned management/financial/TTW plan they will be right onboard, champing at the bit!

Anyone who believes that the 'layoffs' were anything more than smoke and mirrors hasn't worked here for very long. The management is simply trying to justify going after the pilots (as they have for the past 23 years). Nothing changes. Hopefully most of us will realise that the only strategy to combat their aims is to resist on all levels. We may succeed, we may not. Certainly just rolling over and agreeing to what they have in mind will only send the career value of working for CX to the absolute bottom of expectations. Up to everyone to determine that outcome.

I disagree. This airline is toast. Poorly managed, advantages of hkg as the hub of Asia gone, operating from an airport which only has increasing delays (until 3rd rwy circa 2028). You're deluded if you think cx will pull away fron the Hainan group / CSA and mainland carriers.
If I wasn't so lazy, I'd be searching for another job.

I agree. I believe CX will not be able to adjust to the changing market place and competition. Will will see a much smaller CX in the future.

Yes Puca, very interesting..
I'm not 100% sure however I believe the "People" dept has not yet had the hammer drop re firings. They are yet to be done as are many other departments.
"Time to Win" management is merely taking a breather before the next round of sackings and there are many more still to be sacked. People, Airports, Engineering ++ etc.. Aug 1st is the next big day I believe..

Bloody good article that regarding how BA's cost cutting has cost them more in the long run.

Sadly the article lost all credibility at the end when the journalist wrote his list of steps BA should do:

Mr Walsh: find Cruz’s replacement from a decent airline; I recommend Cathay, Singapore or Emirates. If not, do what Apple did and go to a top-class hotel chain. They know how to create a branded customer experience.

Cathay? Decent airline? Almost wet myself.

Forbes Airline rankings 2017

Swires are dropping a billion a year, worth a punt on bods from Delta, American, Southwest or IAG.

Still to go, some very large departments have not yet paid the price for "Mismanagement" More sackings to follow - hopefully publicly.
