Did she have that typical CX sense of humour. If not, she should be sent to work at another airline that likes keeping things professional!

There was a quite attractive youngish blonde female captain/fo (not sure which) on hkg-jfk last year. Quite surprising.

That could be my colleage's cousin - was she in her early 20s with long hair? (well maybe you couldn't tell if its under the hat)

My colleage's cousin took an offer from CX as a pilot trainee and started flying as a second officer last year on 747s.

at elast you wont have to worry about pilots messing with FAs...
oh sorry i forgot about pilots messing about among themselves :b

Was a 77W on hkg-jfk.

I had this same AUssie Cap a few weeks ago flying MNL-HKG. She seems professional until she explained our late departure was because the inbound aircraft was late arriving. Only we were on CX 904 which leaves at 6:20AM and the inbound arrives around midnight so I could not understand why 6 hours is not enough time to service and clean the aircraft. ;)

Not that I'm an expert on CX rostering... But in that case I reckon the delayed inbound crew were also expected to operate the early morning departure. Minimum rest requirements would thus dictate a delayed departure.
