Hahahaha... this is awesome... this is so true... AOA lost all of their fight (all of their previous one anyway) before their fight even started. I think AOA should just budget 80% of their income into advertising against CX PR team and make friends with local press. Only then the public opinion battle will be on the pilot side. Only then will Cathay has to back down and offer better package. So everyone in AOA should just wake up from their dreams, this is HK mate, the press makes the decision on everything. Even the government is scare of the press and has to back down on different issues.

I neither fly for CX or KA, but I did escape from KA a few years ago... and very pleased that I did.

I see that Company intimidation has now reached an all time low and has spread over to the internet via PPrune. 'The Management' beggars belief... who the hell is he/she? If we are to believe that he/she is a true voice of CX management then it really is a very sad state of affairs, because to admit that they (CX) 'control' your regulatory authorities and, also says that CHIRP reports go no further than Corporate safety level is a real concern to public safety. I have to agree that the FTL document does stink, because it clearly states that the Company will have the final say in these matters (and their own interpretation of the rules) :ugh:. In all respects, you're on a hiding to nothing, but my sympathies certainly don't err on the management side of the fence. 'The Management' states that they will be absolved of all responsibility when it comes down to an aircraft incident/accident, because, just like a Commanders Discretion report, or a CC making his/her own decision, it has absolved them (CX) of the accountability of errors; therefore culminating in the Commander (or any other poor soul) taking the 'hit' for the error of judgement. Good CRM doesn't stop at the flight deck door; it's a team effort all the way to the top of the Corporate ladder.

If we are to believe that 'The Management' and his 'f:mad:g' bonus are for real; start compiling his/her posts into a 'pending' file for presentation to the accident investigation team, because I'd like to see him/her in court to be held 'accountable' for being the AOC holder.

You call yourself a 'manager'? You're a danger to public safety! Get a grip of yourself.

ChitterneFlyer,

I think you left your understanding of "satire" with KA when you left. Perhaps you could ask someone to forward it to you.:}

BusyB,

Then I can perhaps only surmise that all is well on the Fragrant Harbour front and that no support is needed to many of the posts here on PPrune?

I hadn't realised that PPrune was now reduced to a comic book... silly me!

Now, where was that satire that I was looking for... Oh, here it is; I'll try not to misplace it the next time! :ugh:
