Unhappy Flight Disruption

Gentlemen,
We are all aware that considerable disruption to, and in some cases cancellation of, flights is occurring as a direct result of the chronic shortage of crews in Cathay Pacific Airways. This situation is being exacerbated by the "fire-fighting" approach of Crew Control, sorting out todays problem only to cause even more disruption later.

Exact details however are not widely available.

May I suggest that in order that we may have a clearer picture of just how bad this situation is, and to keep other observers of this forum informed, any significant delay, disruption, cancellation, or non standard crew operation be posted here, whilst of course being careful to protect the identity of the reporter.

It will not be possible to verify these reports, and many will slip through the net, but it seems to me the situation is rapidly getting out of hand and a fuller understanding of the magnitude of the problem would be to everyone's advantage.

Reports in response to this posting would be a good starting point.
