here you go even done the hard work for you! Question 4
Thank you. Yes. I don’t know how long you’ve been here, if you are indeed employed by CX, however this doesn’t tell us anything we didn’t know already.
Forgive me; if I were a scalphunter or a bean counter ( I’m not ) the last thing I’d be doing is recovering guys to HK from a base, reinstate or indeed commence expat benefits, only to lay them off 3 months later. I know airlines are honours’ graduates in pissing away cash, however, this will not fly in any scenario. So, simplistic views aside, we have no leverage, no real protections and they’ll do wtf they want. And there’s not a whole lot we can do about it. Just pray it ain’t your turn in the barrel. And buy a bigger crash helmet.
All that said they have, so far, not gone for the nuclear option. And I’m as surprised as the next man. Such is the dichotomy that is CX.
