The relative success of SQ and EK stands as a damning contrast to CX and HK. CX have lost any goodwill their staff once held, and it will be a slog to return to even a fraction of what the airline once was. For every pilot joining, two are planning on leaving, three are leaving. The only thing the management excel at are intimidation and lining their own pockets at the expense of the staff who actually do the real work.
