Staff Travel Rip-Off
Apologies for breaking the silence, but just in case any of you are unsure where your loyalties lie, take a look at the great "improvements" to our wonderful staff travel benefits. Here are a few examples:
J Class
HKG-MNL: 93% increase
HKG-BKK: 111% increase
HKG-NRT/JKT: 103% increase
Although it didn't mention how much, First Class zoned fares will also be substantially increased.
Child Fares will be increased to 67% of adult fares.
As expected, zero days notice was given as these increases are effective June 1, 2001.
Apparently unlike most airlines where staff travel is a BENEFIT, CX chooses to extract huge profits from their own staff. Amazing.
