The ad was on climb to 350.com.

Yup they are in need to Direct Entry FO's but they have some hella requirements. LOL!!

There is an IFALPA recruitment ban against them. This includes ALPA.

This means that you go to work for Cathay, then you will be forever branded a scab.

For those of you who don't know what this is in reference to, try finding info of the 49er's. Bad deal, and no one should want to undermine the efforts to get them back.

 

[T-Gates]

Definately do a search on the 49er's. You will think twice about going there right now. I wouldn't risk being an IFALPA super-scab just to sit right-seat on a 340. And that's from my limited knowledge on the subject.

[blade230]

You would not be sitting right seat in the 340 for a long while either way. You would either be a relief pilot on the 340 or 744, or for DE FO, you would be a freight driver on either the 744 or classic 74 series.

Cathay is a world class carrier however.

Nothing happen to all the freedum scum bags, who screwed Mesa pilots, why would this be any different!! ALPA sucks ,if they sign are POS TA I will be applying.

Freedom crews were at least able to comiserate among themsleves. This is different. It's a recruitment ban. Your very presence in the cockpit would be spitting in the face of all that your Captain has worked for. While you would be a scab, the Captain would have every right to be there. Have fun in the living hell that would be. I'll stay in my Beech where we can learn, laugh, complain, peacefully coexist. I'll take that long before I sit in a hostile 747 cockpit with menacing fellow crewmembers (who hope for my destruction) for 14 hours at a time.

As far as I know the word from IFALPA is that you may apply, but dont sign on the dotted line!!!!

Sounds like good advice

Does the ban apply to both the passenger carrying and freight hauling "sides" of the airline?

 

[GulfPilot]

One: for all you folks on this page who are youngster...in 1983 all the replacement workers at Continental were branded as scabs and outcasts...wanna check their status now?

two: go read Pprune.org website postings about the reality of folks joining CX at the present time...and you'll see the other side of the picture

three I am in no way advocating scabbing, I passed up on the opportunity to work for CO in 1983...yes I did the interview and got hired...but please research the Cathay situation , it is not a strike, and there is no picket line, and the very CX pilots (minority by far) who are calling new joiners scabs, are tripping over themselves filling the Capt slots created by these same "49'ers) the pretend to be supporting...

 

[TurboS7]

Maybe I should run over there, I have the background for it.

 

[smart]

Why?

Cathy pilot group should do strike, before they ask IFALPA hiring ban.

 

[blade230]

I agree, but the reason they do not is that Hong Kong law does not support unions and their actions, therefore a strike in for lack of better words, would be against the law.

I understand,thanks blade.
