If I understand correctly, HKAOA members are in contract compliance, with a training ban in force , yet CX has been hiring DEFO and they have received training for the last year or so?
Has the HKAOA put out a request for mutual assistance via IFALPA, like the Air Mauritius Pilot body did recently? Not that I am aware of.
The HKAOA website seems silent on this matter, and without their guidance I would think it difficult for a potential employee to make an informed and ethical decision.
