Not sure if it's written above, but for interest sakes, approximately 90 out of 125 (72%) guys in Aus chose to take redundancy (by my guess approximately $80-100 million HKD in payouts) The other point of note, there are basically zero flying jobs available in Aus atm, and a veeeeery slow recovery coming, so I'd expect a lot more than 72% of US and EU guys to give CX the flick.
Also heard GMA was surprised as to the large number of Aus pilots who chose to not come back to the Motherland. They get rid of expat benefits and wonder why expats don't want to work there.
I agree with Ken, CX is backing themselves into a corner they will never recover from. Oct 2022 will be an interesting time.....
