Do you accept ........ CASH??
Can anyone please enlighten me on the following rumour:
Apparently recently a guy (I believe based in Aus) was called to work on his G day, and said yes, but it would cost them $100,000 into his bank account. (I'm assuming HK$). CC of course said no, to which he replied "That's fine, call me back when you can authorise that".
The rumour follows that the guy was then called again the next morning (another G day), and asked to work, and advised that $100,000 was authorised. He told CC "That was yesterday's price. Today's price is $150,000", to which the controller replied "I'll call you back". He was called back a short time later to be told that $150,000 was authorised.
Has anyone else heard this? I would assume it would cost CX much more than HK$150,000 to have a jet stranded at an outport, with passengers needing to be compensated and/or put in hotels.
Anyone???
