Although people aren't leaving in droves, we deserve a 20% pay rise.

There is no such thing as a walk around - The SOPs says external inspection

All the old trainers on the Boeing fleet are gone and it's not the way it used to be, things have changed a lot - and it's much better now

I just don't care

Straight fours - all good

Hey, remember the old (A Scale) Cathay wife jokes?

What did a Cathay wife wear to her husband's funeral: a black tennis dress.

Why did CX pilots hide HKD 1,000 bills down their trousers: it was the only $1,000 their wives would't blow in Lane Crawford.

What would a Cathay wife do thirty minutes before sex: drop her husband off at Kai Tak.

One Cathay captain didn't bother reporting his wife's stolen credit card; the thief was spending less than his wife had been.

On a more serious note, those same A Scale wives' well-paid husbands routinely went that extra mile , worked days off and 'helped out' in typhoons...and the real JOKE is the lowering experience levels within the company.

FORGET THE SENIORITY LIST
 

I was recruited to do a fast track command but the AOA screwed that up by negotiating it away.

By one of our new female JfO.

I was head hunted by Cathay!:yuk:

Frog,

Was that the "newspaper SO"?

Frogman, By the same person I believe, But heard it by others too

"I wont be here long, might leave in a year or so to do something totally different..."

Newspaper SO?

Think of either 'heavy duty suspension', or 'wide'!
That should give you a clue!

On the 777...

"Before Start checklist... :cool: i mean Pre Flight checklist :confused: "

chortle chortle

Q: "How many CX pilots does it take to change a lightbulb"?

A: "One - he holds it in position and the world revolves around him"

It's actually 3!

The one originally rostered who due to multiple roster changes and body clock abuse calls in sick.

The second who is on reserve but in OT so will not be called.

The third who 'helps' out on a G which in turn screws up the first guys roster again.

....and so the cycle continues.

PILOT RESPONSE...."you get it"

Income was 6 Billion.....20% below target

When CX city was originally built and just completed, there was a long weekend.
No workers on site, only the bamboo scaffolding remained, which was coming down first thing on return from the weekend off.

Monkeys came down from the hills of Lantau and climbed the scaffolding, taking up residence on the what is now known as the 3rd floor.

On their return, the builders removed the scaffolding, not noticing the troop on the 3rd floor…..

And to this day, the monkeys are still there :}:}

some points to debrief-more for my benefit than yours

"Take the rest of the day off"

35 minutes to landing

flight time today is 12:11 minutes.

(because that extra minute is noticeable) :ooh:

As has been stated previously, our executive has set aside money for the pay deal but there is a finite amount.
