I started this thread and will now try to end it because I am fed up with the fake news being pumped down eveyone's throat. I emailed my former next door neighbour who was one of the lucky/unlucky ones to be let go last summer in the 600 culling. Now, happily enjoying a new carrer his severance from CX after 17 years was HKD2.28M plus immediate retired status staff travel. And yes tax free.
So, the 390K cap is a myth, always was.

I didn't know CX had 777's was her reply.
Classic, any pilot going for an airline interview who couldn't answer a basic "have you done your homework ?" question, such as what's in our fleet, would likely be culled at the first stage.

That really does sum it up. Another example of how the only group who is truly accountable in this company are the pilots. Any other group seems to be able to operate without any accountability, competence or integrity. Just another sign that points to escaping this winged Titanic as soon as possible. It will be fascinating to look back in another 10 or so years and see what wreckage is left, and sadly, who went down with the ship.

It is oversubscribed by those that are cashed up and ready to go but not ready to finally cut the apron strings.

So are you saying your friend left CX and Hong Kong years ago with his PF and then rejoined (presumably as an SI?) and worked for a subsequent 17 years?

Yes. Lost his medical early. Tried farming back home but it didn't suit. Returned as an SI.
