Oh I forgot.

These people that continue to fail. Do they get the ass or do they just keep on persisting until they get the ticks in the boxes?

Would you not?

Architect,

One thing that companies don't like doing is "wasting money". Once you have invested some much time and effort into training someone it becomes harder and harder to get rid of them the further down the training pipeline you go. You get a mentality of not being able to fail them because upper management would then start asking why the person had gotten so far without being failed earlier. This situation just snow balls and people will eventually just get "let through".

I have no idea if this is happening at CX but it wouldn't surprise me. Once management start calling the shots on training is when you airline starts going downhill fast.

Cathay never (never) lets things "slide". I could list, literally, dozens of individuals who were let go after continuos underperformance.

Although a lot has changed in the past two decades, standards haven't.

Cathay has deep pockets, but the one thing they can't afford is a smoking hole with a Cathay tail in it. No airline can afford it.

Well I'm glad to hear that some things haven't changed.

I have never heard of anyone being "let go" from CX for under performance. I suppose up until a few years ago you had your pick or the best people so a "training failure" wouldn't have happened very often?

I just re applied after yesterday hk expo, just wondering how long does it take to hear from them? 3 years ago when I applied it took almost 1 year before they called me for the compass test. :(
