990B relates to brand new working visa applications, which nobody will be applying for in the next couple of years. I can also assure you the majority of HKA pilots(those left) are permanent residents.
Likewise anyone that joined Dragon Air less than 7 years ago is also on a renewable work visa. Same as HKE.
If Cathay were really worried about breaking immigration law, then by your logic they should have sacked all HKE crew and replaced them with qualified Dragon guys- why didnt they?
These pilots that you wish to throw under the bus have a contract with their employer- for them to replaced by someone similarly qualified to themselves would involve statutory payouts as per the HK employment ordinance. Might get quite expensive for the new employer.
My deepest sympathy goes out to the affected Dragon guys and girls- absolutely **** what happened to them..
Eddy keep chasing those ambulances....
