Last year I predicted

1. No 13th month for captains
2. Early departure of AT
3. New contract for new joiners
4. Collapse of CMP
5. KA training ban


Not bad !!!!!

1. Your current account has a joining date of Jul 2018. Explain how you made this prediction for an event that occurred in Dec 2017?
2. You first post was Aug 2018. AT had left by mid Jul 2018
3. The new CoSXX (insert year of choice) had been rumoured on flight decks and leaked by the 3rd floor for years. No exclusivity on that one.
4. Debatable whether it's "collapsed". I'd agree that it doesn't seem to be going our way in for the JCR portion - the usual "no soup for you" CX gameplan. Came as no surprise to anyone who's been here for more than 5 minutes
5. KA training ban. Can't be bothered searching back through your posts, but the prediction was 50/50 and it isn't voted in yet.

The very same thought had struck me, very bot-like behaviour... says he’s from UK but sending a boat to Oz... best mates with boss of TUI...

Same strange things happening when you look at LessonLearnt. His profile has him/her as joining 13 Oct 2018 and somehow the system hasn't registered any of his 38 posts as being attributable to him.

It's got to be the Chinese arm of Swire's at work hacking the forum.

You guys honestly. You are amateurs in the world of online chat and blogging. Amateurs. You change your ATM password every few months don't you. No. Then you are idiots. Even the banks tell you to. So I and others change our names. FFS wake up.

Depends on what you're buying and who you want to let know you are spending. Cash is king remember and every electromic transfer is traceable.

This is true, but “cash is king” does not refer to actual hard currency; rather it is not having to bank finance purchases or liquidate assets. Using a credit card may be unwise for various reasons, but “cash is king” is not one of them. Many people use them simply for convenience, like the Octopus card. You really are not the brightest UABX. I really hope I never get you in my cockpit.

Cash is king because it is private.

Anything electronic essentially requires .gov approval (passive or otherwise).

I don’t disagree about the privacy issue, but the phrase “cash is king” refers to the following...

"Cash is king" is an expression sometimes used in analyzing businesses or investment portfolios. It may refer to the importance of cash flow in the overall fiscal health of a business. For investors it may also describe times when it is advantageous to have a large percentage of cash or short-term debt instruments available either due to falling financial markets or due to the availability of investment opportunities.

The phrase was a favorite of Alex Spanos and has sometimes appeared in Motley Fool articles and commentaries. It describes the importance of sufficient cash as an asset in the business for short term operations, purchases and acquisitions. A company could have a large amount of accounts receivables on its balance sheet which would also increase equity, but the company could still be short on cashwith which to make purchases, including paying wages to workers for labor. Unless it was able to convert its accounts receivable and other current assets to cash quickly, it could fail and be technically bankrupt despite a positive net worth.

The origin of ”cash is king” is not clear. It was used in 1988, after the global stock market crash in 1987, by Pehr G. Gyllenhammar, who at the time was Chief Executive Officer of Swedish car group Volvo.

The phrase was widely used during the global financial crisis, which started in the fall of 2008. In the recession which followed the financial crisis, the phrase was often used to describe companies which could avoid share issues or bankruptcy. ”Cash is king” is relevant also to households, i.e., to avoid foreclosures.


... Notice how privacy is NOT the issue to which this phrase is relevant. When pilots misuse terms like this, we just look dumb to those in finance and indeed those executives “leading” CX. It’s akin to bad grammar.

It was first used in the US during the Great Depression.

“Cash is king” is a very cool saying .So is “lock up your daughters” . Although the later saying seems more appropriate when United is around.

Name changed of course to prevent him being lynched by parents .
