Babyjet dodo you are an embarrassment to what was once a fine profession.
Please publish your roster so that I can make sure my family never fly's when you are operating.
Moron.

Far better to fly sick. Risk passing it on to your fellow pilots and of course operate the aircraft while impaired by illness. Professionalism at its finest. The company will give you a gold star on your report card

A senior line captain at CX now earns less than a regional jet captain in the US. Let that sink in... (oh, and lives in the worlds most expensive city on top of it).

And the family still think he's overpaid. If you weren't born a Swire, you were born to serve a Swire. The privilege should be enough, we shouldn't have to pay you as well!

And for suffering the conditions imposed upon you, you shall be granted higher seniority and the benefits that it brings. For this reason, Swire and their underlings deem it no longer necessary to improve conditions or pay bonuses.

So go forth and celebrate, as there are things given by CX that others cannot gift so quickly.

Can someone define "Reserve". Obviously not "Standby" or "Available". As someone else said; "Sounds more like Standby".

After arrival, of course, you must have min rest. If disturbed within that period, very brave fellas could say so and restart the min rest.

During defined layover, Companies would love to have access to you but it is quite hard to define. A bit of give & take appears to be adopted by most outfits.

Most airlines have a better relationship so in case of a disruption down route, the individual pilot will probably help out.

Not in CX of course
