What else do you guys need?
So CX payed all that money for HKE so they could do the 3am flight to Manila (and similar)? No network synergies, no harmonization, just stand-alone, niche markets in the middle of the night? What a rip off!!! Now that sounds like the modern day CX I know... Five years of massive, upside down fuel hedges and now this. Will the CX employees have to pay for HKE too? Because we certainly have been paying for the fuel hedges.
