Diamond MPO:

it is understandable that you feel this way, of course ( I'm not a CX pilot, BTW ) but I am sure you would not travel CX if you thought the crews were unfit for duty or rushed into the flight by last minute destination changes.

This is what has beeen going on.

Incredibly, the crews have put up with it for ages, now their frustration is being vented. It's not aimed at you - indeed you're the last person they wish to get under the skin of.

It would be only fair of you, and would show incredible enlightenment, if you post a similar message to CX management in the HKG press. Fair's fair, eh? Believe me, CX senior managers don't really care about you right now - but they should. This is all about egos, and the inability of companies doing business in Asia to be seen to be giving in to staff in any way. Face is critical. I spoke to the current CEO of CX over a decade ago, and he said then if he made it to the top, the pilots were his #1 target. It's personal with him. You're in the crossfire.

Now you know the truth.
