The dead departure concourse as of 7pm tells you everything.
I spent a decade dodging crowds at all times of day and night in HKIA. Now everything is shut at 7 and it’s early Covid in terms of foot traffic. The money left on the table by forcing the exodus must be completely dwarfing the wage savings.
Those that have left (myself included) are in a far better place both short and long term, than the miserable, dirty, ****hole that we left.
I had almost forgotten how unfriendly the locals are. It all came flooding back though.
What would it take for me to consider a return - or to answer the multiple pleading emails? Nothing that CX or HK can provide, and the managers can rot in the knowledge that even the ones that masquerade as ‘the good guys’ are contemptible and complicit, and hated by all they survey.
Are the CPs still going around fleet forums telling everyone that CX is better than the airlines taking your colleagues in with open arms? Hahahaha. Good one.
