Cathay Pacific said it has no plans to sack more staff and is considering hiring pilots and flight attendants again next year.
Cathay chairman Patrick Healy said staff members can see their salaries return to previous levels if they fly more and denied accusations of double standards with its pay cut packages for frontline staff and top management.
“We have plans to recruit new pilots. As far as cabin crew are concerned, taking into consideration the number of passengers and the time needed to recruit and train them, we expect to start recruiting flight attendants in the second half of next year,” Tang said.
“Cathay forced its staffers to sign a new contract, which will see their salaries capped permanently and become cheap labor, but the directors and senior management, receiving HK$50 million [per year], only have their remuneration capped for a year,” Wan said.
