oh dear. I think you’ve totally missed the concept here.
And where does a airline find ‘spare’ cash to train or re qualified when needed? They’re all on the brink of collapsing.
I also think it’s NOT about locals. It’s the principle of employment of eligible people, starting from HK Nationals, HKPRs then the rest. having said that, locals are looking for help now whereas 2019 they have another idea.
