Well basically, our cousins over at the other HK airlilnes, including the OTHER 737 carrier are better off finacially in all aspects, or so I've been led to believe.
It is definitely the case at the big two, whilst at our sister airline, rumors are that they are better off finacially, but not as happy. Absolutely unclear whether this is the case although with three of their chaps coming over to our lot, guess it might be..or they might have jumped out of the frying pan!!
Add in the fact that there is no industry discount travel with any other airline, apart from ourselves.
So everybody is sticking around for the hours, the slim hope that things will change, or they are gettting more than they would back home (i.e. the South Americans)
