The CAD is controlled by CX... If the CAD is continually punishing a CX group airline, it shows lack of respect on the part of CX and a lack of supervision or control on the part of the CAD.
No need for the CAD anymore, CAAC takes over and CX becomes another mainland carrier.
Alternatively, off the record, from one former HFO to another, please be careful of this and that.. and everyone remains status quo..
