CX and KA have had their moments; no autopilot Go Arounds, attempts to fly the 25L ILS at 1500’ because they were “stable” however in the main they did a pretty good job. Compared to some other carriers. A few of which left aircraft in the harbour or upside down on taxiways.
PRC pilots manage it (flying in the PRC) with, frankly, an excellent safety record.
