"It's not that they can't afford them, they are just *******with your mind."

They're only *******with their OWN (tiny) minds, JM - trying hard to justify their menial positions and exorbitant salaries.
Which would have been cheaper - to have left the coffee machines in place and continued to have paid for the hot water, coffee, and coffee cups, or to continue paying these full time parasites, salaries, holiday pay, sick leave and staff travel??

The tail wagging the dog?!!

H.R. is something that is a waste of time and money, and superfluos to NECESSARY operating costs of any airline.
They are the leeches on an otherwise healthy body, sucking vital blood supplies.

The answer may be much simpler. Ask yourself who in the Company would benefit if the staff did not have access to free coffee and had to buy their own?

Thanx for the positive info
 

Well i'll hope that i can get a seat with Dragon because if you guys (and galls?) have time and energy left over to :{ whine :{ over a coffee machine, in my book that's a good sign.

The more pilots complain about petty little things like that...the happier :ok: they are


:E :E :E Pointer :E :E :E

direct entry S/O?
 

You guys make me grin...or maybe I dont get the drift?
What do you have to do to classify anything as "non"- direct entry? Especially when refering to S/O position? How much worse can it get?
I am curious now if I missed the beat somewhere...and happy to learn something new.. comments welcome- really am not trying to be smart..
Cheers and happy new chinese year!


:cool:

Is Mike Kitney still there?

Yes MK is now AGMO.

What's that? AGMO??? Thanks anyway.

BTW Chino, I think CX have a few Non-Direct Entry S/Os. They were Captains right upto the point they showed sympathy for the 49ers.

Kirk out...

At a guess AGMO: Assistant General Manager Operations.

Don't think you would get rich quick. Those days have gone. The A scale salary was very good and there was a chance of making money on your house. Not any more on both counts, but the cost of living is still high.

The Airbus is nice but then there are a lot of them about now. You don't have to go to Dragonair to fly the Airbus.

I know you Aussies have had a tough time of late but you must be desperate to leave your beloved Australia to live in China! Why don't you look at the other chinese airlines? After all Dragonair is now just another chinese airline.
