How long before all you remaining Cathay pilots realise that Management simply consider you as being “useful idiots”? That is all you are to them.

May take a while Ken, they are pretty slow. Abused children comes to mind.

Ah yes. PRC ATPL. The very nadir of aviation professionalism.

The greatest license of man kind is the CAAC ATPL. Nothing beats it. It´s so precious that the employer will safeguard it - and keep it at safe distance away from you. You will not be granted a dual license rating - that way it´ll be harder for you to leave the smoggy !!!!hole mainland city that you´re based in with your depressed family. Oh, how I wish I was worthy of a CAAC ATPL - perhaps it comes with a Wuhan China Covid endorsement (BAT PIC).

Surely she didn’t? Sign up to closed loop !!!!, and you can earn a full salary like you did before we unilaterally slashed it?
I don’t believe anyone could stoop that low, not even a cx manager….

Taking something away and offering to sell it back to you for in this case ( 5 weeks of your life ) I think I'd pass.

HK$100,000!!....Wow, so Cathay Pilots really can put a price on freedom. I have no doubt Rostering will be flooded with volunteer e mails.

If you do 4 closed loops in sequence as a captain you will earn HK$400 per day in that 8 month period.

Subject to tax off course, something Debs conveniently forgot to mention, as the honey was dripping out of her mouth.

I wonder what kind of human rolls out at the other end of 4 closed loops at the price of 100.000?

How About Debbie chipping in with a few closed loop cycles? Isn't she an ex cabin crew manager? Maybe she could heat up the meals on the freighter.

You mean for keeping the airline afloat so you can continue to get a salary for nothing?
