Looks like management playing fast and loose with work visas may bite them yet again.

Watch this space.
Sadly incorrect as anyone doing law 101 will tell you. No one is being forced to retire, they are just contracted to employment with Cathay until Age 55. You can be on contract for any length of time, and this one finishes at age 55. You can go fly for anyone else in Hong Kong after your contract with CX ends, you aren’t forced into retirement.
Not sure why guys are hanging onto this ridiculous notion.
