I hate to sound crass and uncaring, but in this dire situation it is the only viable option. This situation shows exactly why we have seniority lists.
I don’t disagree with you about how it SHOULD be done. What is to stop Cathay approaching a business friendly HKG court system, citing an existential threat, and seeking a variation to contracts to stand down or make redundant according to fleet. I can’t see them accepting the training wave that redundancies in reverse seniority would cause.
