Grounded
Cathay always has had to go that route with ground staff since there is no arguing that they are permanently based in the US. The cabin crew is a suprise, but maybe that is what market forces are dictating. Of course same does not apply with cockpit crew. We seem to be getting plenty of US applicants without having to coonform to US labour laws. So cannot see the company ever offering it. Not like we can demand it either. What we may want and what we get are two different things.
It is a posotive though as it sets a legal precidence ffoor future "jurisdiction" arguments over say....wrongful dismissal etc.
