Their email addresses should be on the website. If it's official, they'll confirm it. If not, they'll rebut it. But in any case, they'll know there is a problem and they need to exaplain it to their people.
Personally, I think it's a bunch of crap.
Oh yes, it's being worked on by the union.
I am just curious whether or not
any other non-US long haul airline has asked its pilots to start declaring tax in the US.
I agree it's insane, but then ... it's Cathay. They have been excelling at this for decades.
