It very well may happen at some point in the future, but I would be very surprised if it were ‘imminent’, certainly not with Trump in office. What it won’t do is change things materially at CX now. There is plenty of pilot hiring, both in the US and around the globe. If you want to leave CX, you can unless you are a SO with little to no previous time.
So in reality, those of us still here are simply finishing up our careers OR gambling against bad odds that CX will turn around its fortunes. The seniority system, ‘golden handcuffs’, and fear of change are the only things keeping reasonable pilots at CX.
Those coming in newly to CX are either using it to start their careers and leave OR are absolutely insane. There is very little that is good for a new hire at CX. It truly is a job of last resort and a place I could not in good conscience recommend to anyone.
