I might also add that this quite possibly confirms the end of any career prospects at CX. They now have Dragon and Express to grow throughout Asia and the region, leaving CX as their neglected overseas carrier. I expect very little growth for CX, and most of it now going to their lower cost units. At the very least, they will use the threat of doing so as a way to drum down pay and conditions at CX (as if COS18 hasn't already put the nail in the coffin of a genuine career). Writing is on the wall IMHO.
