seriously? They can make her fly (even as a pax) whilst on maternity leave? As bad as CX are I simply don’t believe this one.

Where did you see this? I can'd find it mentioned anywhere. If so, that could get tempting...

You can fly upto 35 weeks, just cannot fly a full roster

love how BA QF Lufthansa etc all have crew flying while pregnant and they’re golden. CX do it and they’re slave drivers.

Eveyone should go to Qatar, don’t look at the roster or contract, just leap in and organise your roster for commuting after you’ve settled in Doha.

I will be in UK during the roadshow , maybe I should pretend to be a candidate and go for the interview . I could ask a number of seriously good questions .

The reason that pregnant women are taken off flying duties it due to the increased radiation exposure which can harm the rapidly developing foetus . Personally I would never allow my wife near an aeroplane if she was pregnant

Why CX ?

Read the attachment from the WSJ and ask yourself again, why would I pack up and come to the worlds most expensive city.. You decide.

CX is cutting benefits and salary........

Qatar had over 300. Says it all.

I was there, there were definitely more than 14 in attendance at LGW. I would estimate around 40, and that was only 10 minutes after opening time. I stayed for an hour and people were arriving and leaving all of the time. I understand your current contract issues but for pilots looking for a job what other options do we really have ?

So in summary: the only people looking are unable to find anything else?

I don’t know if they can’t find anything else, but I can’t at the moment and I want a job, and I’m not just starting out on my career. There were other airlines there from the Middle East and some European operators too. I thought the day was well organised and that the airline staff were very professional. Good mix of ab initio, experienced FO and Captains in attendance.
