I think that is going to be Cathays problem, HKG, well CX, will be rid of gweilos. Give it two years and they will be upping the COS to try to retain pilots, problem will be everyone will remember, and no one will accept the mediocre increase they propose as they know they can't trust any of it. CX is going to be just another lion air, air asia, airline overrun, pulling CBs and turning off flight computers Asian airline. I have mixed feelings, I want them to reap what they have sown, but I feel bad for those who will suffer because of it.
FYI, saying it will be CXs problem being rid of gweilos is not about race, there are many, many HKG guys I have flown with who are far superior to some of the expats, they are in the same **** situation but will probably stay as it is their home. Fast recruitment, fast promotion, inexperience being forced into roles they are not ready for, it would be the same the world over. This will come back to haunt CX.
