The End of HK as we know it
Well, a cursory look at the airport at the moment tells me that we have now passed the point of no return. The protest movement will not abate, and it will lead to the overwhelmingly crushing force of the mainland security forces at some point. CX is probably permanently out of favour with the mainland Govt (until the inevitable "announcement" of a mutually agreed sale :/ ). Regardless of the ebb and flow of current events, it does not take much of a fortune teller to surmise that HK, it's way of life and the fate of its citizens is now on a path to irrevocable change. I cannot see a forecast that would now include CX as a "career" airline. A broken company, crippled politically, financially and operationally is not a place to store up hopes and dreams. It is over.
