Courtesy of the new COS18 painters. Just another sign. You REALLY couldn't make this up.

CX ex 19th Sep 2018 04:21

Well it looks like that plane is the only thing at CX not getting "F"ed

ron burgandy 19th Sep 2018 05:48

I think this just confirms no one from the pilots to painters give an F anymore

mr did 19th Sep 2018 06:21

Does that mean we now have to get CiiC notes?

OK4Wire 19th Sep 2018 06:38

So we had the wing walkers in Europe, the ad men who can't tell the difference between PVG and HKG and now this.

And still management will continue to say that cheap labour is a form of winning. Time to win, indeed.

Is it ok to wear a different uniform to work? I'm embarrassed to be seen working for these clowns.

Jnr380 19th Sep 2018 07:17

The letter 'F' is double the cost of the other letters. We're in a crisis here. Time to Win!

BusyB 19th Sep 2018 07:25

Couldn't spell PATHETIC.

Shutterbug 19th Sep 2018 09:34

No more F's left to give.

See? God does have a sense of humor.

unitedabx 19th Sep 2018 09:46

14 % saving by leaving the F out. Why not "Cafay" and save another 15% ?
Pafetic.

Busbuoy 19th Sep 2018 10:14

Wanna know something else funny?....comparing that pic with other 777s suggests they started at the last letter C and worked backwards, so they have 4 letters to repaint not 2!

VR-HFX 19th Sep 2018 13:35

Proof that there is no longer an F'in Cathay Paciic. I am amazed they managed to get the rego spelling correct on the nose gear doors.

unitedabx 19th Sep 2018 13:35

It's gone viral on Facebook and made the BBC World news. A spectacular own goal.

Slasher1 19th Sep 2018 15:24

It is a test for new joiners.

They ask them what they see.

If they say ‘one of our airplanes’ — or something along those lines — they are hired.

if they say ‘they misspelled Cathay Pacific’ they are not.

The latter might be a person who actually reads their COS.

Blue Bag Bitch 19th Sep 2018 15:39

Time to Win

Nobody Gives an F

Busbert 19th Sep 2018 15:55

Don’t worry, all the critical maintenance you can’t see is done to an impeccably high standard.:E :ok:

Arfur Dent 19th Sep 2018 16:36

As you imply - what else has been missed? How to turn a once great Airline into a laughing stock in 3 decades of simply awful management. How could such an error not be noticed? I understand the Chinese do not like to lose "Face". Well, stick around to be sniggered at in the Hong Kong Club and similar.
Disgrace………….

kenfoggo 19th Sep 2018 21:17

Obviously the “leaders” will try to make light of this amateur embarrassment. But if I was a member of the travelling public I would be thinking, “ if they can get something so basic wrong and nobody checked it, what else is being done in a slap-dash unprofessional manner? What else is being missed? Have they done the maintenance correctly, will the engines keep running?” This is all so far removed from the well run , professional Cathay of old. Amateur hour.

Flightrider 19th Sep 2018 22:03

I sense that this may be the start of a new era for the opening sequence of Fawlty Towers - a different yet amusing anagram on the side of every Cathay Pacific aircraft.

Isn't that what CX is all about these days ?

I don't know which cabin crew approved the fairy lights, but don't worry, if they make a mistake it's 'miscommunication' if you make a mistake you're D&G and straight out the door within a week

Why on earth would they need approving by anyone? Probably powered by simple AA batteries. The fact she may look a total pratt is a separate issue.

wongsuzie 20th Sep 2018 15:29

errr...When the cabin is so bright you cannot 'star gaze' outside.

BlunderBus 20th Sep 2018 15:38

It’s ok .. no mistake really ... just misspelled “DRAGON”

BusyB 21st Sep 2018 15:58

I would like to know who (which company) painted it and then who towed or flew it and parked it. Then who finally recognised it?

Our service provider in Xiamen!

Passenger at the terminal

unitedabx 23rd Sep 2018 04:21

CX simply the laughing stock of the aviation world.
This spelling error will blow over. Yesterdays news.
That is until the next "f" up.

Put a space between "G" and "O"? DRAG ON
