What an odd sort of mind you must have shortly....
1. The '49'ers' were not 'sacrificed' they were ILLEGALLY SACKED BY CATHAY PACIFIC MANAGEMENT.
2. The HKAOA did not do this THE CATHAY PACIFIC MANAGEMENT DID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The destruction of these guys careers lies solely in the intimadatory tactics of an outdated 'colonial' management style, including making sure they never worked in Hong Kong again. No matter how you wriggle and squirm to suck up to this lot ......for reasons known only to your own black little heart, these are the facts.........
