Thats exactly what would happen the COS mentions this, all airlines the world over have very similar clauses in their contracts! Many of the more senior pilots in Cathay would have been through one or two Furloughs and re-hires already, welcome to the airline industry!
I would guess if and it's still a big if Cathay were to make pilots redundant they would all be back on property flying within 3 years.
