wahhh captain sorry to distrub but!!!!!
 

Running on a treadmill and low and behold NO-control calls for a favour: "Wahhh! Captain? Can you please help? We have no reserve and we need you for a flight! We are willing to pay you a G day call out" (laugh laugh) My answer- "Sorry cannot!!!!!!!!!" :mad:

We Just Never Learn
 

When oh when are we going to learn that the answer is NOT TO ANSWER the
telephone. That way you have no stress and you cannot be logged as having
refused a duty.

Guys - please use some of the grey matter that we all presume you have. This is not a macho game of 'I refused to help' - just be UNCONTACTABLE when you are not
required to be on call. And no, I'm not advocating contract compliance - just telling you how to have a life!

Ah well - to the coffee shop before the press gang arrives.

Wow, when is Red Commie China gonna march in and put right all the gweilo infested businesses with all the stinking gweilo prima donnas dictating terms to industries which give them good jobs? Totally belligerent and ungrateful scums.

Close down CX, fire everyone, let the Chinese airlines temporarily take over the air operations out of HKG, then reorganise and hire from scratch! No more pommie and oz dominated flight operations..........there lots of good non gweilos around to run the show. No more gunboat diplomacy in the modern guise.

kinteafrokunta......

Are you serious?? Gunboat diplomacy?? Over reacting a little aren't you? Or do you also write for the North Korean Press?

The pilots are asking for a pay rise after 20 years of cuts, B Scales, and C scales (the Company has made 60 billion in that same period).

Do you suggest that Swire fire all the pilots and turn Cathay Pacific into an operation like Hong Kong Express or Hong Kong Airways??

Be careful what you wish for kintea....

...and what's more kintea, the Chinese are themselves short of pilots and are actively recruiting expatriates; if you love them that much, go and join them, that's if you are a pilot at all.

However, you will have to work on your English. The Chinese have standards too, you know.

Kinteafrokunta is probably one of the slave labor champs bending over backwards to work at AHK.

Either that or just your regular pilot wannabe troll fishing the PPRUNE pond. :rolleyes:

Don't feed the Trolls. Waste of time & he'll just get off on it.

Try Decaf...
 

Does it occur to anyone that Kinteafrokunta was probably joking?

Perhaps they are not that smart!:rolleyes:

Have to agree with you on this, but dont forget there are some who didnt even finish high school or raised up in farms or the wild west and somehow taken up a flying career.

I hope that was tongue in cheek. A degree has never been a pre-requisite to having a flying career. It's only made a "requirement" to keep application numbers manageable.

There's the problem right there...military pilots.
Military Transport guys might be OK, fast jet types make poor airline pilots.
Always have, always will.:yuk:

Another bitter loser chopped at Biggin Hill or it's international equivalent!

A first rate tosser indeed. I have a feeling this chap shall insist on entertaining the crowd. Imagine doing a long haul with this one!

cheers

Actually 411A I've flown with crew from various backgrounds in the last 25 years of my Airline career with more than 1 Airline and I can safely say you are full of bull......:=

I've seen excellent Pilots and crap Pilots from all sides of the fence and your "sweeping" generalization regarding Fighter jocks is not warranted.:oh:

Back to the L1011 for you my friend.:*

Mmmmmmm true:{

[quote][Many of us gweilos at CX studied at top tier universities, graduated atop the flight school classes of the finest militaries in the world, defended the free world against the forces of evil in tactical aircraft in any weather day and night, and then brought our skills to the airline world to be properly compensated for maintaing CX's excellent safety record.
/QUOTE]

Utter balderdash........top tier varsities & flight schools? Those are nothing more than pompous prep/finishing schools teaching gweilos to swagger like having an oversized prince charlie up the crack!

Ho Ho
 

Akali...you say "Balderdash" and then accuse us of having a "prince charlie up the crack"...?:rolleyes::hmm: Suspicious Public school language and behaviour there:D:p I guess all the best of the best of the best of the best are graduating out of crackless Indian flight schools are they....:hmm:

My guess, your a low time CPL, Air Force washout, now flying as an FO with the very same skilled gweilos there in India:ok: and your a tad bitter about it;):E

NoseGear

Reading some of his other juvenile posts I think Akali Dal is 411A’s long lost brother. Bothe have ego’s that couldn’t be contained in an air tight jar.:yuk:
