Schedule Reduction?
I have heard the engineers have notification of scheduled service reductions in CGD (3 a week on the bus instead of daily) and LHR (one service cancelled or reduced)from May onwards.
Any news from a less reliable source? A flight ops manager for example? |
I have just returned from LHR and heard the same thing from the ground staff there, 253/254 will be cancelled from May. Not sure how reliable this is though.
|
Well we have to cancel flights dont we, how else could they give us any LWOP !! There wont be enough crew to fly otherwise!!

Not one spare seat in first/business/economy plus one on the jump seat. |
My wife is a monthly on CX business class across the pacific from HKG. Both US coasts.
The business class fare booked through American Express travel (full fare) has almost halved in 12 months. |
The price is largely dictated by the market. The business can control volume or price but not both in an effective way.
|
Can't remember all the schedule reductions, certainly LHR, CDG and FRA in europe affected.
Flts are full (it is easter!) but no yield. |
CX staff travel have not halved. The Lufthansa crew pay half my fare on staff travel though. Domestic and international.
|
USA to HKG return full fare business class can be picked up for less than 5000 greenbax.
You reckon cx are making money right now? doubt it. |
LHR~SYD 515 pounds return today's paper.......

...pushed back the delivery of two Boeing 777-300ERs to next year. ...talking to Boeing and Airbus to see if it’s possible to defer more deliveries and we’re also looking at what to with leased aircraft - whether to not renew leases that expire, or to try and re-lease them at much more favourable rates Even I can figure this one out. |
quad: They want to get rid of the 5 772s, but so far nothing has come through yet..
|
CX253/257 to be cut apparently. Also CDG down to 10 a week and one daily SYD cut too. Thats for starters.
|
LHR~SYD 515 pounds return today's paper....... travel agent said it's VERY limited per flight..... if only we could pay $50 / barrel :rolleyes: |
It's not a problem, and if you're willing to go etihad etc it's even cheaper....
|
oh, damn, CDG down to 10 a week. Wasn't it the case until what... a week ago, when they increased to a twice daily flight?
So not a big change then. |
The latest from Engineering is that we wont park the 777-200's. They are too good to sit in the desert. We will reduce their flying perhaps or use them for charters.
|
Simple economics, cut capacity so you create demand which in turn increase the ticket price..........
|
Vermin, Good Post....
finally some rational thoughts on this thread. Agree with you entirely. |
