United airs plans.
Read and notice here what no-one at CX has heard "Clerical AND Management." How many "Managers" at CX are being prepared for furlough ??? The BS and berating at CX is always always always about bashing Flight Crew and never doubting management sycophants !!!

Spoke with a friend at United yesterday. He confirmed that they have been notified of approx 4000 pilots to be furloughed. Further, he told me that his colleagues at both AA and DL have also told him of similar numbers to be let go at both of those carriers as well. You can draw your own conclusions...

GMA now claiming that ' ....approaching 500 pilots employed on COS18........including experienced Captains.........which provides a strong foundation for us to come through this crisis.'
Surely a big hint here as to what all the remaining CX HK pilots will now be expected to sign up to?

So sad
How will those on Arap survive on Cos18? I can assume some have Young families and will need to pay 40-60k/month mortgage payments.
What is the purpose of the AOA after this is all done?
See you all in economy when you're pxing

Yep, it’s going to be a sh!tshow. At least 10000 US pilots furloughed, possibly over 20000 across all passenger airlines. It’s going to be ugly for quite a while. It’ll be interesting to see which ones come crawling back to CX on their hands and knees for DEFO. That assumes CX still exists and doesn’t have its own redundancies.

My bad! That wasn’t my intention. It was more of a statements about how crappy CoS18 is than about those willing to take it during hard times. We all fall off the pedestal at some point. Most of us do it more than once. I certainly have and may yet again if the sh!t hits the fan at CX.

Boxjockey, another full of sh*t poster on here. You have any idea at all what destitute means? Sleeping in your car in the carpark mall with 2 kids in the back. Getting woken up every 3 hrs by security and told to move on. Washing in a public bathroom, queuing at a soup kitchen, trying to get a job with no fixed address, trying to stay current as a pilot so you can find a job. You have no idea what the guys out of work in this profession are going through right now. So wind your head in, when you say you'd rather be destitute. You have no clue.

Pickup,
You are the problem! First year pay? What about the rest of the contract? Destitute? You are comparing a pilot to an unemployed and homeless person. Why? Pilots are capable of much more than flying. We can do many other things. History shows us that. During every downturn, many pilots have left flying and never returned because they found better gigs elsewhere. Wake up JA!

Compared to what? BOAC captains? Starting pay first year cadet at CX is better than first year at Ryanair, BA, etc. You obviously haven't got a clue what other airlines are paying. The cheapest I've seen is earning 1000 Euro a month RHS on a 320 in Europe. You think COS 18 is worse.....
