Colleagues who are working in management have told me that nearly all expansion now will be with HKE. The bigger question apparently is what to do with CX/KA. With CX basically becoming a smaller airline (quicker winding down of the 777ER fleet than originally planned), they effectively now have too many pilots. KA by some metrics has a higher cost basis. None of the factors are positive for an improvement to current conditions of pay or benefits sadly. A shutdown of HKA will be a very big nail in a very small coffin. Good luck to all, but effectively the cards are once again stacked in managements favour. Can't say i'm sorry to have recently left.
