Yeah right, and age 65 will decrease time to command!!!

Anyway, in the words of our managers, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. If it's pay-packet envy rather left-seat envy driving you to complain, then once again you should have applied for it yourself: remember, this was a fairly transparent option to F/Os in CX for the last ten years, fully AOA-endorsed and advertised widely during the DEFO selection process. Just another career avenue available with CX, and as BB says, many guys joined precisely because that avenue was available.

If instead you live in HK and get housing, then there's no need to be envious because your package is far better!

Now, to try and get back on topic: does anyone else see the joint venture with AC (together with the attack on housing) as the next big threat to our jobs?

back after a hiatus; forgot to mention that even though pax a/c carry much freight it's not CAO freight. That's where the real money is boys. Should we discuss the UPS incident??

Ready for more enlightening responses....
