Freehills, CX and EK are following the tedious, time worn path of many other legacy airlines before them (PanAm, Eastern, TWA, Monarch etc). We all know the outcome of that don't we? Of course, there are management lackeys like MorningCoffee who are desperate to pretend that all is fine at CX, and that having Captains resign to become SO's at other airlines is completely normal in the industry (!). CX will obviously have to learn the hard way, that times have changed, and pilots don't have to subject themselves to disrespect, penury and abuse. We all have much better options, and as more leave, more WILL leave. MC can type all he wants to the contrary, the facts will soon establish themselves with this airline, and probably EK. The days of the tyrannical airline management have come to an end, and it's only a question whether the airlines they are managing will end with them. Jury is out.
