Hotdog....I have had the pleasure of flying with many F/e's in CX. and if you were anywhere close to being representative of that group of fine individuals perhaps you could describe for everyone on this forum the exemplary manner in which CX dispensed with their services.....NOT!!!!Cx employees (pre 1993)no longer with us who have not experienced the wrath of the jellybean-counters really do not have a relevant handle on the current state of affairs!No one is disputing the years when employees meant something to cathay....just the years when they obviously come a distant second to obscene profits...almost 10 X more per a/c than any other airline!...and if we hadn't contained costs we'd be struggling to break even!!!!...get a grip!!!!!
