Liam. As another contributor told you, as one example, LAX has cancelled hundreds of flights over the past several months. One port.
It's not about "hiding" anything from shareholders (as if CX cares about the shareholder). They are quietly managing the operation to cope with the shortage of pilots, the sickness rate and the instability that a normal schedule would trigger. Are you suggesting that a pilot a day on average leaving (and that is set to increase) is a sustainable business model?
Regardless, the truth of the situation will play out over many months. I am confident that this airline has seen its day, and a prosperous and stable career can only be had at another employer.
