On a side note...
 

With the retirement of the Classic Fleet, it's common knowledge that most Crews are to be converted to the B744 Freighters.

Why then is the plan for most in the Classic Fleet Office, to be converted to the airbus? This is fact, not fiction.

Why is someone like the Deputy Chief pilot, C.H. who's in his early sixties, a Freighter pilot, being converted to the Passenger Fleet ?

One would expect a basing in Australia.

And the Company is asking for our loyalty to help weather this current 'financial crisis'...

Because this is CX and nothing ever makes any sense, it's just the way it is / was / will be!
