CX has too many aircraft already. Will be less of them to worry about crewing.

Beware Cathay bearing gifts... They might be sending an old 330, but for their efforts, they will be taking the only 'new' 330 KA has. Net gain? Zero.

That is what I meant too Silberfuchs!
 

Looks pretty anaemic. Why continue to persevere with white?

If they went back to a British racing green it could work.

Solber, not only the salt & pepper shakers...KA still carries playing cards! Paxed down to BKK the other day and the ISM was as surprised as I to find they have been discontinued. Carrying on a recent tradition, the beancounters know the cost of everything and the value of nothing.

We should go all pollution grey, with black soot streaks coming from every window and panel. Wait, we already have that.

The Green paint is something some dude did on photoshop on a blog!! Go ahead and google it in images, there are some really creative ones out there..

The 330 that KA is getting is newer than the "newest"!! So I've been told.
It's not additional either, well at least not in the short term.
All the old ex CX Classic 330's are going into the shed for some life extension program so this is just to cover the downtime.

KA320..3 HR flight..no video..2 boxes of "food"..the packaging exceeded the food..which was inedible..no cushions or blankets...best regional carrier?..my r's...

A seemless product pucka! Thats how it was sold to the board. :}

Exorcist,

Very little Boeing experience ? A little arrogant possibly, we didn't all come from Air Macau.

Honestly, all we "kinda senior folk" at KA want is to retire on our current contracts, protect our junior brothers and have NOTHING to do with the way CX views you, how you view CX and the solidarity with which you all approach this significant time with your T&C's under massive attack.

I hope it gets better for us all.

Amen Australia. From a long timer at CX...well said. :D

KA B787
 

I can't wait to get this one on line...

Maybe if we get bought by Xiamen airlines we are in with a sniff at 78's. CX cant handle the 350 intro, imagine the flat spin they would be in with another new type in the group! Called the dream dream dream... liner for a reason, more like the the "dream on" liner.

Spot on. Love ya work

We may not be Boeing experts anymore, since you took our 747 fleet, but we have a few tips on Contract Compliance. Was the last lot 4 years and prior to that I can't even remember ?

We'll all be air China in 5 years when the axe falls for the last vestige of colonialism in hk

@Pucka I would say KA is one of the best regional carrier in the world. In North America, I think almost all airlines (?) charges extra for food. And yes the food would be over priced, and there are no cushions or blankets.

And most airlines like BA, AA, DL, UA etc, all of their regional flights don't have PTV (AA and DL are adding PTV in some of their aircraft). That includes 757, 767, 777...etc. In fact, UA and AA didnt even have PTV in their long haul fleet till recently.
