On a recent flight I asked the canadian captain of a CX airbus if he thought CX top management could fly his plane - he looked at me in amazement - of course not. I said -you have as much chance of beating them at their profession as they have flying this plane, which they own. Duuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhh. Didn't strike home.
He said what we want is F class pax like you to go and fly with other airlines, then we will win. I said win what ? His main complaint was rostering that was messing up their private lives (between golf I guess). So I said, what about the pilots sitting in the hotel in XYZ city , and the cabin crew, waiting for your flight to arrive and it doesn't because you are 'sick'. So by being 'sick' they improve the waiting crew's private lives ?
Duuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Bye Bye biggles, go join someone else - if they'll have you when you get canned. I have lost all sympathy for this lot of whingeing overpaid hi-tech bus drivers.
Incredible - Playing roulette with their families' futures.
