Retirement
 

Hello Old Fella,
Yes I am enjoying retirement thank you.

We were both fortunate to have enjoyed the best days at CX, although after my first 10 years things went downhill quite rapidly. After the next 10 years I was earning around 65% of what I was earning beforehand. But if you need a job, what can you do?

Your summary in "Nobody cares" is fair comment on today's state of play.

I do hope that for those at CX now, things will change, but I fear that they will not. Very sad!

I seem to recall a similar incident in the 60s, where a young Qantas LAME sabotaged a 707 and tried to earn some brownie points by "discovering" the cause of the problem. Apparently he was refused an out station transfer that he desired. Needless to say he didn't get it but lost his job as well together with a conviction for criminal damage.
