Seems like still no solution to this problem? Surely these ex KA guys have more self respect than to hang around HK and demand the jobs of CX guys here on visas.
I think most of the pilot community truly felt sorry for the way management axed those who had given years of their career for dragon. I also think most would agree it would make sense for cx to consider those made redundant when they next hire before hiring foreigners on visas in the future.
But to suggest and actively push to have work visas stripped and extensions not provided for those currently at CX so you can maybe have a shot at their job is a pretty low level to fall too. Why drag others down just because you are suffering? Cathay are still overstaffed so the only result of this will be more pilots loosing their job and the Dragon guys who caused it still won't be needed for their fantasy 320 spots.
Let's not forget who the enemy is and it isn't each other.
