Well, when you have a former Cathay Cat "D", pilot being taken on and bypass very competent pilots to be assistant fleet manager with lightning speed what do you expect.
Cat"D", Cathay, unsuitable for command.
Political appointee only, not based on intelligence and ability.
The bloke's a moron.
The Chinese english assessor, gave a Brit a 4 for English assessment????.
It is a screwed up company, and without Hinan support it will struggle.
But you know mainland, they will not be able to face the embarrassment of such a public humiliation, so they will support it and bring it into the "fold",.
So it will survive, with the morons at the top.
