If you’re still wondering, CX management and the government meet every few weeks, they talk about how they’re willing to trade say 15 front line crew visas (flight/cabin/engineering) for a visa that can be filled by a local.
This is all hush-hush and CX will never admit do it but all senior management knows it’s going on.
get use to it guys and gals, you’re nothing more than a trading card to the company. Expendable and Dispensable for a more “valued” card. (I.E the head of customer service)
