I don't know what it takes to realize that pilots being given a visa extension is not at the expense of citizens such as you.
1. You worked for a different company
2. If as you are wishing, these pilots without
PR are fired, then you will not get your job back as there is no need for more people. Look around and see your fellow brave citizens are not getting the scary vaccine and are in no rush to return to normal life but would rather live with masks, social distancing and hiding under their beds. Therefore travel is not coming back any time soon.
3. If Cathay is forced into firing those without a
PR do you think they are going to go on a hiring spree and spend the millions to train you up to then not even fly? Yes I know 777 guys are being paid to not fly right now but they are current pilots thus no training costs etc are required.
4. Don't forget you've already been paid out a redundancy, think the tight pursed company will just throw that much money at 500 pilots to then essentially call them back in 6 months time for a new gig? Much cheaper to just keep the guys you already have and then when in the future (2040 when quarantine is dropped?) further hires are needed then hire the local talent and no expats until those unemployed dragon guys are all given a shot at an interview.
