Or...get a DEFO job with Dragon Air, rapid rise to command as all the Captains are leaving and when the s#$t hits the fan there, Cathay will be forced to step in and assume command. Cathay will reintroduce Dragon Air pilots on the CX seniority list, all be it at the bottom, but you will have your command and be employed by CX. There will be cross crew flying of KA aircraft to make sure the media doesnt get wind of crewing problems and we all know, if the media doesnt know, then there is NO problem!!
Sounds easy doesnt it???
