Things have changed in Hong Kong there are thousands of locals who want to join CX/KA now, it's taken decades but Swire knows this, they don't NEED expats anymore local cadets are the future, why do you think the recruitment department has now gone to HR, eventually the pay will equal that of a policeman or fireman. Expats will continue the fight but eventually the union will fold, I'm guessing 10 years and it'll be over.
