cx is not the first company to run a productivity based pay contract and it sure hasn’t been the cause of accidents in other carriers. Pilots for other airlines in HK have managed to live on equivalent terms and conditions without it resulting in a hull loss. It also doesn’t remove the requirement to comply with regulatory FTLs or the onus on a professional pilot not to fly when fatigued or unwell. You know you could always leave CX if it was so financially unviable, but other airlines still pay a lot less. Oh but living costs are lower in other countries you might say. Maybe that is partly true but when you factor in the tax difference and lower salaries your take home pay will leave you significantly worse off. So no one will leave in reality since CX is still a good gig and has proven to be more a lot more secure than other airlines who have been dropping crew since the pandemic onset.
