MNG,
118 posts for a guy who is not even a pilot, is quite amazing. You seem like a very keen young man - good for you.
Now, since you are a guy who seems to have a ready answer for just about anything, I would like to ask you: in what way do you think that local pilots would benefit more than expats from a Peking take over?
You make it sound a bit like and issue of expat vs. local. Let me assure you that is NOT the case. We all fight the same course. I have seen comments on another issue made by you or one of you fellow wannabees, casting doubt as to whether CX would want to have a local captain. What a load of cra*. You'll see one in less than two years when their seniority number is up.
