Yet more evidence that CX is mismanaged
Re the above:
Both the "Friday Liar" and the "Le Dried Out French Roll" slathering praise on the now departed (early) Airbus Dancing Buffoon... Do I need to say more....:ugh: |
Yet more evidence that CX is mismanaged
A "SURPRISE" retirement party for the Dancing Buffoon(video now out) happening soon...?? Don't stand in the hallway as you might get trampled by those running in the opposite direction to the "sign up here" desk on the gutted 3rd floor. Problem is, he's not retiring... when it turns in it's ID card, there will then be cause to celebrate..
Can you say "DYSFUNCTIONAL" OMG !!!!!!! |

Curioser and curioser.....or maybe not. |
Perhaps the vacancies are directed at the HPE consultants! I am sure that having seen the well intentioned management/financial/TTW plan they will be right onboard, champing at the bit!
|
Anyone who believes that the 'layoffs' were anything more than smoke and mirrors hasn't worked here for very long. The management is simply trying to justify going after the pilots (as they have for the past 23 years). Nothing changes. Hopefully most of us will realise that the only strategy to combat their aims is to resist on all levels. We may succeed, we may not. Certainly just rolling over and agreeing to what they have in mind will only send the career value of working for CX to the absolute bottom of expectations. Up to everyone to determine that outcome.

Exactly. In 3 years time there will be record profits. Don't fall for the Doom 'n' Gloom show now. It is CX Negotiating 101. They have been doing it for decades.
If I wasn't so lazy, I'd be searching for another job. |
I agree. I believe CX will not be able to adjust to the changing market place and competition. Will will see a much smaller CX in the future.

Interesting ??

I'm not 100% sure however I believe the "People" dept has not yet had the hammer drop re firings. They are yet to be done as are many other departments. "Time to Win" management is merely taking a breather before the next round of sackings and there are many more still to be sacked. People, Airports, Engineering ++ etc.. Aug 1st is the next big day I believe.. |

Bloody good article that regarding how BA's cost cutting has cost them more in the long run.
Sadly the article lost all credibility at the end when the journalist wrote his list of steps BA should do: Mr Walsh: find Cruz’s replacement from a decent airline; I recommend Cathay, Singapore or Emirates. If not, do what Apple did and go to a top-class hotel chain. They know how to create a branded customer experience. Cathay? Decent airline? Almost wet myself. |

I couldn't resist clicking on the link on the HR website about the 32 year old (male) Safety Trainer allegedly groping the 34 year (male) trainee steward.
I have been going to Safety Classes for years and nobody has groped me. Is there something wrong with me? Should I wear a skimpy outfit next year? More Brut 33 perhaps? Is it the moobs or smell of failed marriages that scares them off? |

And we have a saviour on the way!
New Cathay Pacific investor Kingboard urges shareholder Swire to lead airline out of ?hard times? | South China Morning Post With experience running sweatshop factories in China, he's ideal for TTW! |
Will Horton, from CAPA Centre for Aviation, said it was “unclear what benefit” direct Swire involvement would yield. Two members of the family currently sit on the airline’s board. Seeing little merit in Kingboard’s suggestion, Horton said: “The situation is not the Swire family relaxing on a tea plantation outside Colombo oblivious to the seismic changes in Asian aviation.” However, Cheung said the airline’s financial health and business model remained sound despite the substantial losses arising from low oil prices. Cheung maintained the company had a “future” and urged management to reverse the negative mindset of frontline staff amid job cuts. |
....png also noted Kingboard had no experience running an airline. Well, no problem then, welcome aboard. Can't do much worse than the 'experienced' managers we currently have. Seriously, you can't make this stuff up.
( and a word to the wise, you can see where this is rapidly going. Won't sell, won't sell, won't sell....SOLD!). |
And take a note of the comments in the linked article "cathay needs less swire, not more". And I quote: "Cathay is the most richly valued of the worlds major airlines". Try to remember that when this malignant lot of managers starts crying poor. Either you insist you are valued properly, or they will set your value for you (and you won't like it). Forewarned.

Going... The Loadstar 260417
The change is expected on 1 June, after a period of transition. Mr Ginns has been at Cathay for 26 years, but this appears to be his first job on the cargo side. The airline said cargo director designate, Ginns, will instead take up a UK-based role in the Cathay Pacific Group, meaning he has been moved on from the role before he had even started it. Moving back to the UK with his wife and four sons, James added: “The chance to return to the UK was perfect timing for us as a family; so I jumped at the opportunity given that my last spell with Cathay Pacific Europe was 24 years ago in Paris.” |

Well, I for one am grateful and relieved that he and his family are going to be enjoying a proper life together in a first world country. :rolleyes: Surprised the Swire's didn't hold that posting for ransom....see what he would have given up to get it. Surely they don't want another happy employee....??? |

Would expect nothing less. You can't expect to live a normal life without giving up all the value in your career. Them's the rules! (CX rules)

Had to laugh at today's Friday Fibber. Lots of delays on the Freighter due to crewing issues (which is not particularly funny) but had a good chortle about the 14 hour delay due to a problem with the left hand seat.... no doubt the problem was there was no Captain to sit on it. :)
With the freight market doing well, you'd think the Company would be keen to resolve any outstanding issues with the 747 pilots (beyond some sprinkles of Illy coffee and a handful of curry flavoured air fresheners) Time to win folks... time to win... Ducking Pilots. |
Cathay Pacific outport "review" blueprints SCMP 040817
Tom Owen, the airline’s director of human resources, announced in the company’s in-house staff magazine: “We’re starting a comprehensive review of our outports – how they work with HQ (headquarters), which will have an impact on their own organisational structures.” A source from Cathay Pacific familiar with the matter said: “We haven’t touched on the outports and the obvious next step, now that Hong Kong has been reorganised – how do we work with outports? “We have to do a complete review first, and then we’ll have a blueprint of what needs to be reorganised to make the company more competitive and agile.” |
Why do we still stay here if things are really that bad and the company is spiralling out of control? Shouldn't we jump ship?
Nah, let's all stay |

And let's face it: Why would a 777 Captain give up his 10 day job and a 30.000 US$ pay check ? Senior Airbus folks see the light at the end of the tunnel with the A50. All junior guys on those fleets are just waiting to get into those positions. Which leaves us with the 747 fleet. But they are a minority so who cares ? Unfortunately. So why don't we all just go to work with lube in hand. Collect our paychecks. Stop posting ideas that never come to fruition on rumor boards. Spend time with our loved ones. Retire relatively happy. |
