CX Roadshow UK... anyone interested...
The crew hotel at Sama Sama in KL may be better pickings? Though chatting to the Malindo/ Lion Air pilots their preference is HKA due the colonial check and training system at CX / KA.
Have they thought of that? Low cost pilots means low cost standards ! If you have to budget getting to work you don't want to be bothered with extra curricular professionalism.

There is no career in CX and the world knows it. I notice Qatar inviting captains and first officers to join them. The best Cx can offer is second officer for 5-6 years on average pay in the most expensive city on the planet.
I suspect they will hope to pick up those pilots who don't get accepted by Qatar, BA, Emirates, Easyjet and Jet2 who are all running roadshows that week in the Gatwick area. Note no rosdshows at Heathrow because no one at VS or BA would think of jumping ship to Cx from there. Next Cx roadshow Delhi and Mumbai.

Just heard that one of the recruiting team ( an Airbus pilot on maternity leave ) will be the pilot rep at the roadshow in Gatwick. She is leaving to join Qantas in February 19 and handed in her resignation tw days ago.
You couldn't make this up.

Never thought I'd see the day that CX stoops to Road Show Recruiting.

"Flight Crew Futures" what they mean is careers but like "Life well Travelled" it is pigeon English at it's very worst.

Recruiter: " f'd if I know, i'm leaving for Qantas next month"....!!
That about sums up CX, and the value of it's "roadshow". You couldn't make this up if you tried.

The Qatar recruiting team is led by their 787 Chief Pilot and some HR people. The Cx Team is led by a maternity leave Airbus F/O who doesn't want to do this but was told she had to as a ground duty and who has already resigned to go to Qantas. I am aslo informed Qatar will offer a signing on bonus for type rated pilots. CX can't match that. Jet2 will offer "the UK base of your choice" as an incentive. CX can't offer that. BA will offer LGW commands within 2 years. CX can't match that either.

That's exactly it.

It will be very interesting to see what response CX gets in LGW. Of course we will never be told the truth but I suspect the empty appointment slots and empty chairs will sound alarm bells back in CX City. Of course the solution will be more cuts. It is the Swire solution to everything. But it doesn't work that way anymore.

If cx management can't anticipate the needs and wants of prospective and current employees, what chance does it have anticipating the same for our customers?
