And when Hong Kong Airlines folds, it'll be just perfect timing (yet again!) for CX to overcome its slots, crewing and aircraft problems.
There may be some A50's going cheap, plenty of 3rd world pilots now out of a job ready to lap up POS18, and some of their trainers who will happily take any crumbs thrown to them. Never mind if any of them lack the usual quality or experience you have been used to over the years, those pesky cx pilots have called our bluff. So come on in, there's lots of TC, CC and STC positions that need filling when TA18/19 gets voted straight out the door, which appears increasingly likely.
