SACKED on purpose
anybody hear about a guy last month who supposedly "missed" his return trip to HKG on purpose without telling crew control, the flight got delayed and he got sacked?
As it turned out, he didn't want to deal with the 3 months notice nor paying CX 3 months worth of salary so he did that to get fired, IT WORKED!! He is now back at his old job in the U.S. Good on ya mate!! I wish more people have balls like yours around here. |
If what you say is true, what he did doesn't take balls, it takes no balls.

Balls ?
The N Sync club castigate this company for the many "dishonourable" acts they perpetrate against the workforce yet when a collegue acts in the same dishonourable maneer they hold him in esteem. What of the crew member whose roster was disrupted due reserve call out as a result of this act. What of the other crew members whose date getting back to their families was delayed as a reult of the subsequent delay? What of the pax sitting in the terminal till the appropriate crew compliment could be found? This company runs rampant because it is dealing with children. When are you going to grow up? |

You're not related to hostile23 are you?:ugh: |
An act of spineless selfishness more like - worthy of CX Management...
|
No, no relation. I served my 3 months notice in full.
Just demonstrates how desperate some people are to leave Cathay Pacific Airways. THE GREATEST AIRLINE IN THE WORLD..............yeah right!:p |
I don't really know anything about CX but all ive heard are very negative things, what is so bad about them?
|

C152Cap,
You are 'extracting the michael' aren't you? or is your Dad :* on the 3rd floor pulling your strings? |
Should have stayed with his previous Command!
|
regardless of one`s dislike of their job, their airline, etc, one should still retain a level of personal pride.
An act like this, to be honest, says far more about the person, than about Cathay. I would not endorse this action, and I think it is pretty one off. I would not admire the guy for this, I would suggest that maybe this time, just this once, cathay got it right, he deserved to be fired, and he was probably not an ideal crew member anyway. Doesnt change CX one bit, nor is it a "statement" However, I still think they are a bottom of the barrel choice these days. |
You only get what you deserve. Cathay once fired 49 guys out of the blus and ruined their lives - they didnt seem to care to much back then - did they??
Too bad for the pax - but hey - thats life. I wonder if he gets his full pension paid out - does anybody know that? - just out of interest!:eek::D Anyways good luck to him - bet hes having a laugh :D |
I think no matter what his state of mind with the company was, this clearly shows a lack of professionalism. How is he going to explain this to his next airline?
If he wanted the sack I'm sure he could have found many other ways to achieve his goal! |
Pension?!!!
|
So what are we? Professionals in our chosen field, or morons who applaud such pathetic behaviour?
|
Oh. I see they dont pay you pension?
|
That is correct.
|
I must admit that even I can't condone what this guy did.
Leaving kids stranded at Heathrow with stressed out parents trying to cope with being a day behind schedule on their holidays is pretty poor form really. If your going to go, go like a man not like a mouse. I liked the story about the guy that laid his uniform and books out on the bed and left the hotel (that was actually funny) this guy is just weak by the sounds of it. |

Stick it out for 3 months and take more abuses while seniority passes you by at a new job. 2. Quit and run without notice and CX comes after you (in a big way) for 3 months salary PLUS 3 months worth of housing allowance. 3. Get sacked and get PAID 3 months. I'd take the latter, thank you very much! Kids stranded at Heathrow?? That's why they have reserve crews, mate! Me? I just love to see CX get screwed!! |
