So, will DPA and AOA invite HKE pilots into the tent?
if you look at what has happened at SQ, their growth has been anaemic for the last 10 years, whereas Scoot/ Tiger have grown massively. Good chance CX will now do the same

Precisely, HKE will get KA’s A321NEOs and KA’s pilots will be gradually merged into the joint CX/KA A330 operation to help with pilot shortage at both airlines. Pressure on expats will continue in the form of third world pilots at HKE, many commuting in from elsewhere in SE Asia. Welcome to the LCC world!!!
The Jetstarisation of CX has begun. New routes which won't support a full service airline could be opened up and marginal current routes could be transferred. When are the B787s coming for the long haul routes ?

But they have been saying for years that they don’t have any money , the situation was dire, the sky was falling , the company was in peril if the pilots didn’t take a pay cut . Now suddenly they found that they had sufficient money in the kitty to buy another airline . You couldn’t make this stuff up

And she's ALSO smart enough not to let me cut HER household operation budget because of woes I might claim that she knows are not true.
I had expected more of well educated technical operators.

The Management will all be fired.
And good riddance.
KC and the Sunshine Band are next in line.

I have been told by a reliable source that Hainan was forced by the THB to sell express and cargo. They cannot hold more than one AOC in HK any more. They will have to sell part of HKA as well I have been told. I am not sure what you are on about AdB29. You may be doing the same job as us, but not to the same standard. This of course does not make you less of a human being though. But if you think that just because you do the same job, and have a training department with a 10 year legacy, that you have reached maturity and clarity as an organisation, which plays any significance in improving and innovating your pilots standards you are delusional. Grow up and accept, that though adequate you are not raising your standards. Cathay has and is training to 1st class standards. We are better pilots than you lot because we are cohesive, committed, and have the same operational values and beliefs. You guys are a disjointed bunch of mercenaries, not career seekers. Unfortunately our management do not see the benefit of having career pilots rather than mercenaries.
