Cathay Pacific CEO Rupert Hogg vows to close gender gap as flight director?s departure means no women on Hong Kong airline?s top deck | South China Morning Post

The Hogman vows to close the "gender gap" as the only "senior" woman at CX departs ??? What?
Let me get this straight, Hogg, The CEO of Cathay Pacific (a Swire Prince) and his Swire counterparts REMOVED (article said she's leaving) Ms. Thompson from her "Senior" position and now he's bemoaning the fact that there are no women in senior positions ??? If that's the case, he (the CEO) should have left her where she was and not "removed" her.
Can I get a reality check here?
The Swire Company, as they are so politically correct these days, control 100% of who they hire and in particular the gender ratio of their Swire Prince & Princesses when they are inducted as they pop out of Cambridge - Oxford etc. That said, it is Mr. Hogg and his Swire ilk who are wholly responsible for this situation, absolutely nobody else. He should wear this problem like he actually is a "Senior Leader", and own up to the issue Swires are responsible for but no, he will deflect it as usual. Pathetic.
BTW, when companies start remodelling themselves looking for equality of outcome (on any level however particularly on the gender of their management), it's time to run for the doors.
A good corporate thought process "should" be, I want the best, most experienced and qualified person for the task and their sex should be completely irrelevant. (I completely understand this last sentence IS NOT in the CX management thought process - Dilbert is more akin to how it works under the CX umbrella)

My own thoughts Mr. Hogg, pay more attention to what you are supposed to be doing and perhaps we won't loose another 5 or 6 BILLION USD in Fuel Hedging and/or lost criminal lawsuit's. (dare I mention the costly "renewable fuel" PR farce ? )

The bets on the fuel couldn't have been any looser.
As long as somebody is capable and competent then there should be no problem whatever sex that person may be. For whatever reason(s), they had to remove her.

It's being fixed, at lower levels in the company at least. Most of the record number of pilot resignations under RH and AT's watch would be male.

Old quote: "A Swire Prince is like a lighthouse in the desert. Incredibly bright but of no F@#$ing use to anyone"

Perhaps the new Chief Wizard: Merlin, can pull something out of his "wizard's sleeve" and get these Lighthouses doing something that works.

I like equality of opportunity for the females, males and the 49 other genders, but how is this helping us become profitable again?
However important, more than closing the gender gap, we should be worried about how we are going to succeed.
I hope Hogg has his eye on the right ball.

Nah, Biofuels (renewable?) + the Weekly Update say it all. Virtue signalling & the "We Are Green" garbage tell the complete story.

The new GMA comes from 'procurement' background. So crew can expect to be treated more than ever as resource/ widgets/production units.

That can't be any worse than being a "cost centre code", can it ????

Another Duplicitous Statement
 

I see from the latest DFO newsletter that the (EX) Paris based pilots "have finally reached a settlement" in regard to their eviction from the base 6 years ago ???

I typed all this into my Dick Tracey decoding machine to find out what it really means.

" The company after 6 years of telling the displaced crew to pi** off and spending $$$$$$$$$ on HK and European lawyers finally buckled". This, more than likely, following their lawyers advice "pay up, you're going to lose and you will get hosed in a very big way".
In other words, they were going to lose another law suit caused entirely by another incompetent DFO/DirPPL combination.

Once again, another group of "Leaders" screws up, collects their fat bonuses and leaves behind an expensive mess for the next suckers to clean up and pay for.

I can't even remember which incompetent DFO was responsible for this..

TIME TO WIN :D
