CX Roadshow UK... anyone interested...
|
A bit optimistic going to LGW to do a roadshow. Surely they should be trying in MNL with POS 2018. |
“Flight Crew Futures”...? Can easily answer that: miserable, hopeless and poverty stricken. Anything else you need to know? |
"Flight crew futures". Are they anything like "Oil futures"? I don't recall them working out particularly well either. |

Looks like Gatwick is the new game safari... Happy hunting. |
The crew hotel at Sama Sama in KL may be better pickings? Though chatting to the Malindo/ Lion Air pilots their preference is HKA due the colonial check and training system at CX / KA.
Have they thought of that? Low cost pilots means low cost standards ! If you have to budget getting to work you don't want to be bothered with extra curricular professionalism. |
Probably hunting for Brexit refugees. |

I notice Qatar inviting captains and first officers to join them. The best Cx can offer is second officer for 5-6 years on average pay in the most expensive city on the planet. I suspect they will hope to pick up those pilots who don't get accepted by Qatar, BA, Emirates, Easyjet and Jet2 who are all running roadshows that week in the Gatwick area. Note no rosdshows at Heathrow because no one at VS or BA would think of jumping ship to Cx from there. Next Cx roadshow Delhi and Mumbai. |

Never thought I'd see the day that CX stoops to Road Show Recruiting. |

"Flight Crew Futures" what they mean is careers but like "Life well Travelled" it is pigeon English at it's very worst.

Our members of the recruitment team have turned into a bunch of ambulance chasers. |

Just heard that one of the recruiting team ( an Airbus pilot on maternity leave ) will be the pilot rep at the roadshow in Gatwick. She is leaving to join Qantas in February 19 and handed in her resignation tw days ago.
You couldn't make this up. Recruiter: " f'd if I know, i'm leaving for Qantas next month"....!! That about sums up CX, and the value of it's "roadshow". You couldn't make this up if you tried. |

The Qatar recruiting team is led by their 787 Chief Pilot and some HR people. The Cx Team is led by a maternity leave Airbus F/O who doesn't want to do this but was told she had to as a ground duty and who has already resigned to go to Qantas. I am aslo informed Qatar will offer a signing on bonus for type rated pilots. CX can't match that. Jet2 will offer "the UK base of your choice" as an incentive. CX can't offer that. BA will offer LGW commands within 2 years. CX can't match that either. |

It will be very interesting to see what response CX gets in LGW. Of course we will never be told the truth but I suspect the empty appointment slots and empty chairs will sound alarm bells back in CX City. Of course the solution will be more cuts. It is the Swire solution to everything. But it doesn't work that way anymore.

If cx management can't anticipate the needs and wants of prospective and current employees, what chance does it have anticipating the same for our customers?

seriously? They can make her fly (even as a pax) whilst on maternity leave? As bad as CX are I simply don’t believe this one. You can fly upto 35 weeks, just cannot fly a full roster |

I will be in UK during the roadshow , maybe I should pretend to be a candidate and go for the interview . I could ask a number of seriously good questions . The reason that pregnant women are taken off flying duties it due to the increased radiation exposure which can harm the rapidly developing foetus . Personally I would never allow my wife near an aeroplane if she was pregnant |
Why CX ?

Read the attachment from the WSJ and ask yourself again, why would I pack up and come to the worlds most expensive city.. You decide.
CX is cutting benefits and salary........ #CXit |
Last weeks turnout at The Hilton Gatwick was 14 attendees.
Qatar had over 300. Says it all. |
I was there, there were definitely more than 14 in attendance at LGW. I would estimate around 40, and that was only 10 minutes after opening time. I stayed for an hour and people were arriving and leaving all of the time. I understand your current contract issues but for pilots looking for a job what other options do we really have ? |

I don’t know if they can’t find anything else, but I can’t at the moment and I want a job, and I’m not just starting out on my career. There were other airlines there from the Middle East and some European operators too. I thought the day was well organised and that the airline staff were very professional. Good mix of ab initio, experienced FO and Captains in attendance. |
