T8 full pay or no pay
With the T8 the Hello Kitty crowd get the day(s) off on full pay, doing even less than an office day.
Flight Crew get their income slashed if their flight was canned, or have to fly risking all.
I hope no one is answering their phones or going the extra mile to help out.

Why do you need to attack completely innocent office clerks in order to make your case? Do you have any idea how much they make? Leave, weekly hours, career options, do you know anything about their lives?
Disgraceful, really.
And everybody will answer as long as it serves them. Including you.

Same 5 people having their weekly little cry about CX.
PLEASE for the love of god next time you think about posting to PPRUNE just think: "Maybe I don't like my situation/CX/COS 18 or whatever it is, but ITS OK if other people do like it/are happy".
PLEASE just remember that next time you feel compelled to type another one of these crybaby posts.
carry on...

So something wrong, how low would you like our or the cabin crew’s pay to be before we don’t get our pay docked for not being able to work like the ground staff? You seem to think cabin crew pay is considerably above ground staff or was that conveniently forgotten?

Only you would use ground staff to attack pilots conditions, cx can’t wait until you’re a manager you don’t seem to get it or your fully aware and support the fact that cx has a policy where they create a workplace whereby staff not just crew are stepping on each other. Any attempt to have conditions where crew are protected and therefore have no desire to get ahead is not desired.

I think the OP’s point is the inherent iniquity of a remuneration system which in any given month can see your income drop wildly through no fault of your own, for example due to weather cancellations, delays or aircraft maintenance issues, or even simply your rostered flight being assigned to someone else for training or operational expediency.
Highly demoralising, and roughly the equivalent of an office worker being told “oh, don’t bother coming in Tuesday or Wednesday this week, and obviously we’ll be paying you 40% less”.

In FF Kempis has stated that something closer to 70 hours is more appropriate for the threshold.
I assume his bye-bye bonus is linked to this as well, so another anal wart will float off to rot with full pockets.

I think the only way to make peace with this is to assume base salary is your full salary. Any productivity needs to be viewed as a bonus, not something you will earn in a month.

Assuming that they are short of attracting enough pilots it could mean an increase of Basic Pay to the equivalent threshold of 70 hours to attract more people on a guaranteed pay.
Who knows ?

One of the recruiters sent their monthly roundup of contract jobs out there. On Base salary CX is literally the worst paying job in Asia on a widebody. The end can't come soon enough, an Air China takeover tomorrow would put us all on contracts that would be a hefty pay increase. Wrap your head around that for how far this airline has fallen.
With the opening to Mainland China they can tap a country of 1400 Million people to find cadets now.
Best case it takes 7 years to recruit a cadet and put him in the left hand seat.
With the present geopolitical situation I suspect that China could be a closed country for foreign pilots within the next 10-15 years.
All present expats might be replaced with Chinese (unemployed) people in a not so distant future.
'Expats' who might think that they still have a lifetime career ahead of them with Cathay might be in for a rude awakening at some point.
Keep your fingers crossed that this point won't coincide with a worldwide downturn then.
Either way their seniority will be gone and they have to start from scratch somewhere.

Soon after we were taken over by CX and nothing could prepare you for the clown car that was their operational control. I’d have taken Air China any day over CX and what a pity we weren’t sold to them instead of the fools you have running you now. How can they stuff expansion up so badly with the most pliable, one sided pilot contract I’ve ever seen? They still have arrogance and sensibilities as if CX is a legacy player that it was previously. You have KA Captains or experienced ex-KA F/O’s sitting in the RHS watching new CX guys bend aeroplanes or if it ever picks up in China, drain demerit points like never before. What an easy fix! Dropping the standard hasn’t worked so why not take a look at long lost training files and promote on ability.
