In most cases out of seniority and dictated by fleet, merit, supposed demerits and within countries that have allegedly superior contract “protections”.
The legal system here will be a shadow shortly of what it once was, and hamstrung by new interpretations of various laws, referred to a ‘ higher power’ just because they don’t like the result. We are ‘guest’ employees here. Always have been, always will be. Just dressed up to look slightly better than the ME3. And look how they’ve behaved.
That's the fun part.10 years of gushing forth about the workers rights pretty much everywhere else but Hong Kong. Now that the difficult financial realities are enveloping airlines we're all finding out there aren't any workers rights in the face of Covid in Oz or the UK or a bunch of places. Anyone who thinks the company is going to lose a court case over who it employs and who it doesn't is completely clueless. As history repeatedly has shown.
