How many are leaving CX ?
 

Thought it would be interesting to find out. Does anyone know ? I heard of 3 F/O's that resigned this week. I have also counted 10 F/O's who have decided not to do their commands in favor of remaining on their basing.

Ive flown with a couple of S/Os who said they are putting in their letter anytime soon. And they seem to be serious. Also one of them told me that 3 out of his "team" of 6, joining some 3 years ago, have already left and he was gonna leave next year. Changes of time I suppose.

Where are they going? Grass greener job hopping?

These are the ones that I know personally that have left... (all S/Os)

1... Easyjet
1... Jetstar
1... UPS
1... Air France
1... Emirates
1... Netjets
1... Corporate in Europe
1... Fedex

add to that 3 FO's that have bought a flying school in Oz.

Love that one frogman, talk about chinese whispers...

Yes I know 3 just resigned to go back to Oz.

A friend of mine also just resigned to fly corporate jets in Canada. He was with CX for 8 years, and due to do his command soon.

Sorry Frogman, I retract that last comment, it may well be you are referring to ANOTHER 3 who have gone that I am not aware of!!

might be the same that rice pudding is talking about...they did resign 2-3 weeks ago...not sure. I was telling night watch to add them.

now that should add up to 12

Heard that 3 guys have bought part of a GA charter company in NW Aus, but I didnt realise they had resigned to do so??

Air China
 

By the way....

Air China are recruiting qualified A330 captains for their Sydney base. Pay is around US$13,000 per month with a travel allowance, after tax.

You must be prepared to live in a country with clean air, large houses, etc.

Don't know it if has been mentioned earlier but a Freighter FO just went to VS recently. Had not been in Cathay long either.

Slightly off topic, but I was offered DEFO last year but turned it down due to crap renumeration. Interstingly, 8 guys on my Hk interview day, 5 got offered jobs, only 1 took it up, rest of us better off where we are! There are too many better options in Europe, VS EZY and BA etc. Good luck to you guys at CX! The one guy who took the job was flying props in OZ so was a good move for him!

Fresh news
 

The three f/o's are or already have resigned.

There is also some evidence that the seniority list is not being updated to hide the numbers leaving. Ask around. A freind of mine has been in the company for about 18 months and his seniority has gone up by 7. In 18 months?

Not enough to get them worried
 

The numbers are increasing steadily , but it still isn't large enough to really worry them . Until that happens nothing will change. Once they really start to hurt hummm!!!!

The seniority numbers vacated have been reserved for the CX/KA integration. They will go to KA crew in order of our seniority.
This is after all fair. You will not have not lost anything as you have the same number!

How many pilots have been with the company for years and regret ever joining? If you could do it all over again, would you still have joined CX?

I never would have! CX just keep chipping away, and the pollution is out of control! I always assumed it would turn around and get better :ugh: (CX that is :}) If we could piss seniority off, I'd go somewhere else and I'd imagine a whole lot more would.

Flew with at freighter crew (LON) the other day and was informed that 5 -400 Freighter F/O jockeys resigned in october. 3 to go to Easyjet, 1 for Virgin Atlantic and the last one I cant remember. Keept the numbers rolling folks. Talk with your feet.
