A bit strange. 3Gup is already gulping down the CX KoolAid and he hasn't even joined yet? I guess he's the kind of dude CX is looking for since he's already intoxicated.

You are without doubt a company plant..........try all you like to "beg" people to join. Thats fine. You just have to realise that there is an equal and opposite force trying as hard as possible to persuade people not to.

YOU sugar coat.............try and deny it. From reading your posts I would think I've won some sort or lottery, with an Island paradise thrown in.

WE (Cannot, Jose etc) give the facts.............either been and left or seen enough to know that it really is a joke.

Good luck in your climb to the 9th floor.

You really stick out like a sore thumb!:ok:

Good God, You make it sound so simple!! Do you think it is so easy to come up with a flying job??

Go ask the 49ers to see how many are completely out of aviation because of what happened to them? I know another guy that got sacked by CX and it took him a good 4 yrs to find a respectable job. This is what I mean when I say Cathay ruins lives! How about the 2 F/Os that recently got sacked...have they found new jobs that match their pay at CX when they were wrongly fired? CATHAY PACIFIC RUINS LIVES!!! and they do it with a smile...Same Team, Same Dream.

You see my friend, other places have a seniority system which one will have to give up to "test drive" Cathay Pacific. So your advice is wacked to say the least...yeah mate, let's all quit our good jobs and give CX a try..if we don't like it....well....we're f*cked, because it's too late!

In my case as a so called "regional" captain, I'm ready for a change. I'm joining with my eyes open and an open mind. Somewhere between the very bitter and the very sweet is what my experience will be. I've been screwed enough by my current employer to make the leap.

Time will tell I guess.

Perhaps it's about time somebody closed this thread. Could we also please get rid of these delinquents (ie CAN-NOT!! and Rhick Noades) to stop them hijacking every topic with their puerile nonsense. Perhaps then we could have some reasoned discussion in this forum. I'm a tad fed up with it all.
(Standing by for more abuse from the juvenile set)

Yeah, it sure is fishy! I think the IRS will eventually find out that some crewmembers (F/As) on the same aircraft as pilots employed by USAB are actually working for a US company (Cathay Pacific USA). I wonder what they'll think then.
Meanwhile, USAB is actually a Hong Kong company (check http://www.icris.cr.gov.hk/csci/ for USA Basing). I don't know how they get away with using a Canadian address. And those paid by USAB are paid in... US Dollars.

Oh sorry buzzy old chap if you're a "tad fed up" sorry to keep you from the yacht club. Here we go again. Bury their heads in the sand. Yeah Ok close this thread. I or CAN NOT will just start another one. We have issues with this company. If you are so happy at CX, why are you here? Shouldn't you be out laying on the beach sipping GandT with your mate Numero, talking golf handicaps? Why do you bother with this website? No, because the reality is you are trapped my friend. You have no choice but to like it. You are sitting in front of your computer on the 30th floor looking across at the next door neighbour's maid hanging out the washing wondering why the f#ck you signed up with this mob of idiots. Just have the b@lls to admit it!

I rest my case...

PS. Rhick, I suspect you'd have 'issues' anywhere. Grow up - the world doesn't owe you a living buddy.

Observing these different threads, it is funny to notice that a couple of guys have "dissappeared", and a couple of "new" guys have coincidently appeared.
These guys (screen names) carry the same message, of course.

The timing is just awesome!

Oh, before you go on bashing me, just know, that I'm just here for the entertainment. I could give a f*ck either way!
Just couldn't help myself tryin to stir up some $hit, heh, heh, heh...

Discuss!

Thanks for the vote of confidence in my ability to manage, but alas I spend none of my time on any of the floors at CX city.

Life is real simple. If you don't like the situation you are in, change it. Insanity is defined as doing the same thing over and over expecting a different outcome. If this place and CX makes you that miserable then please leave. You have our blessing!

If you want to know a worse airline culture, try emirates, china air lines, korean, asiana, virgin blue, qantas and national jet. I am sure there are other bad airline cultures out there but my friends only work for those airlines I have listed. From reading other posts UPS and Fedex sound good, but they are not an option for us antipodeans.

Has CX been unfair at times....ABSOLUTELY...and so has just about every other big company on earth. Get your blinkers off and start talking to people who work in the real world! You will soon realise that life isn't always fair in any big company.

Hey I've got a question. If you get FO freighter in HK do you fly only to north america or do you go everywhere?

You may be forgiven for confusing objectivity and being sick of listening to the bitching, for intoxicated. Perhaps you merely lack perception.

Otherwise, it would appear you're one of the whiners, then?

When given a DEFO position to NA or Europe, you are given a domicile (ie LAX FRA LHR) you can then ask for an HK roster and all your flights begin and end there. All your pay and benefits are based on your domicile and you usually fly HKG ANC. You can end up flying to Europe, regional or beyond ANC in NA, but it seems like the majority is to ANC.

thanks twinglobes, so financially a bad move i guess.
