Your point? I said that if you get rid of the expat pilots there aren't enough good local pilots to safely operate the schedule. The few hundred you mention aren't enough. CX still needs expat aircrew (even though they now pretend we are all locals). If you want to start stacking airframes (Lion Air etc) then get rid of the skilled expats. Current path will result in needless deaths, no need to accelerate it.
