In Cathay Pacific, all flight crew, cabin crew, ground crew ... have just been advised that they need to file tax, if they fly to or work in the US.
Has anyone else heard of a similar demand?
If you fly to the USA - who do you work for, and did your airline tell you that you will now have to file tax in the USA?
This includes crews with no connection to the USA (citizenship, green card etc). It is nearly impossible to avoid flying to the USA if you fly for CX, unless you fly the A330 only.
It is CX that is informing this to the pilots. It's not the US IRS demanding it from CX pilots directly. Chances are that this is (yet another) mistake by CX, like previous on-shoring, closing of bases and other legal mishaps.
