I can't comment on Canada, so ok, shortage in US, Australia and Canada. This is still not a global shortage.
Gnadenburg, I hope you are right.. I think we can agree there will never be a shortage of cadets, correct? Will there ever be a shortage of suitable FO's to upgrade in Cathay? Not sure. 777 and 747 has hundreds of potential candidates available with enough experience, plus as you mention it's now possible to go for DEC as well..As long as HKexpress and HK airlines can recruit.. By the way, I read somewhere that China is already very close to pre-Covid levels in terms of traffic numbers.
My guess is that in fall a profit share exceeding previous meagre couple of weeks will be announced, in order to match renumeration packages of our competitors.
