Pilot Shortage in Hong Kong
short flights long nights
Perhaps there should also be a sub-category on your Typhoon Rating,
I suggest T1, T3, T8, T9 and T10 sub-classes to the vaunted rating!
ICAO will no doubt setup a working and feasibility group to consult equatorial regulatory authorities worldwide…….

If by pilots you mean inexperienced cadets, absolutely.
If instead you mean aircrew experienced enough to occupy a RHS or LHS, au contraire, we’re blatantly in the middle of one now (mostly self-induced).

Numbers ? We are good and getting better.
Experience/quality, very different story.
The huge transfusion from the 74 to other fleets says it all.

Maybe you can solve the Russo Ukranian war, stop the houthi’s, solve out the rest of the middle east and make it rain in Panama. Thereafter there might be some availability.
sure… because other (747) freighter aren’t busy at all and have all the pilots/planes available…

OK Mister Angry then there is a genuine pilot shortage crippling business opportunities at CX.
I really don’t know why sone folks on here seem to take the side of a clumsy management. A few pilot coming back isn’t alleviating the shortage STW.

Possibly. But apparently they prefer to expand slower and keeping the costs low. They have all the data,we don't. Some guy sitting in front of his Excel told a guy a floor up number in column A is bigger than B...

That’s pretty much it. They would rather a smaller airline but maintain an absolute chokehold on costs.
As to asking the dozens of re-hires about why they’re back, it’s indeed quite illuminating. But in the context of expanding to at least our former size, it might also be instructive to hear from the hundreds who aren’t coming back…
