So Cathay pilots are being incentivised to operate the aircraft inefficiently and no other airlines operating to HKG have this problem. Sounds like a systemic failure.
Fix the systemic issue and the problem gets resolved. Any worthy manager would realise this, but instead there is the usual threat and intimidation tactics.
Workplace intimidation only creates a toxic culture and forums such as this are good to expose such a culture.
And besides with people being so interconnected nowadays through various chat groups, it tends to make people more resolute, so management’s hostile posturing is in this case like pissing in to a typhoon wind.
