remember the TCAS RA ignored since the junior hadnt been trained that yet......or the fatigue approach into a middle east airport? Or what about the PER flight with eng shutdown.....normally its 2 crew with one taking “controlled rest” but that one nite it was training so had 2 awake.... It wont be just CX that will cop it one day...the reckoning has yet to come to this negligent Civil Aviation department who writes what CX wants..... 2 x P2X SO on long haul yeah thats fine......exmpetions to FTL yep u got it.....hey CAD grow some gonads and do what your meant to protect the travelling public.

100% Scoreboard! But I think you shouldn't feed the troll.....

Does CX not have an approved fatigue policy? Here in the States, if you are fatigued you are required to call in fatigued and the only question the airline can legally ask you is when you will be fit for duty. Fill out a fatigue report to make sure you get paid, end of conversation. I have done it on a few occasions. It's really the only way to get rid of onerous pairings. Surprised a high caliber outfit like CX doesn't have something on the books and is not required by regulating authority to implement a fatigue system..

Exactly, there is a policy. I've used it and same as above. Filled out a fatigue report and no questions asked

Afraid we're no longer in 80's those days are long gone problem is people just see the book cover and don't do adequate research. HK is Asia it's not the western world Swire plays by Asian rules not western because they can.
