FlyerTalk do not need people like you spreading false and malicious rumours. Chinese newspapers tend to overexaggerate the basic facts.
There is nothing wrong with Chinese pilots.
They're on SQ, MH, QF, BA, BR, TG. So why not CX. It's the training that goes with it.
Air China at one time hired people straight from the Air Force. So maybe these old tired hands are more apt in making their own decisions as far as commands are concerned.
Do you know that CX has a few women pilots? Oh and by the way, they're Chinese too. Any comments on that?
