KA to get more CX aircraft.
 

Here's a great rumor...

KA to get the CX 777 classics in 2016.

I'm glad that they have more crew than we do

Makes sense with the comments about delays into China and cutting frequency however increasing capacity.

Only if they come with hats, otherwise no dice.

Of course, yes, this makes sense. Start a sub-fleet at KA where there is very little Boeing experience and create pilot shortage in their Airbus network system. They will get lower pilot utilization and increased costs, but since when does that really matter for Swires. They are into power, not money.

I have heard CX aircraft using KA callsigns.

Also a while ago KA freighters were using CX callsigns.

So how is that ironclad scope clause working out for you?

Does the flight deck seating on the 777 recline further than Airbus?

That would really excite the KA guys awaiting flow control in China or 2 man sub-continent red eye returns.

Does that ironclad scope clause agreement include hand me downs?

Would it really be worth introducing an entire new type for an extra 30 seats?

Doubt it. Just send more of your clapped out 330s that have paid themselves off 200 times.

The iron clad was a joke I'm guessing.

The 6? 777-300s have just shy of 400 seats and the 772s probably just help the case for the fleet size.

I tell you what if i was in KA I wouldn't mind receiving Cx's 5 772's they are well maintained and good machines. Better than a clapped out A330.

1. Freighters were NEVER on any Scope Clause until the Canadians placed it in their Scope Clause!

2. Under the scope clause, CX can transfer or sell the aircraft to Dragonair as they wish. The scope Clause only covers aircraft that are owned and operated by the Company under their own AOC.

Scope Clauses are iron clad when you understand what protections they afford.

You should have added a :rolleyes: or an :ugh:.

Scribbled in pencil on a post it note stuck to your RPA.

Bigger aircraft is nice, but those chinese airspace restrictions will just become a bigger headache with bigger aircrafts (more capacity) but less frequency.

Wouldn't it be easier if they create a system where they get to keep the valuable slots and frequencies, pretend to operate those flights, but cancel them and push those passengers to earlier (but delayed) flights if a delay does arise?

Or take the train?

...or even better...don't go!:ok:

If only we had a choice frogman...

Confirmed...

1 CX A330 going to KA in December..

Cathay Dragon
 

Following the rebranding announcement, which is due soon, it will the first aircraft to be painted in the new Cathay Dragon livery.

White fuselage and green 7cx11 on tail?
