NC another wise insight for us. The fact of the matter is that even with that analysis to make $7.02 billion and only pay 16.5 days, most cabin crew/ ground staff would have been royally p$ssed. Make no mistake, this extra cash was for their benefit as well as ours. With the cabin crew sick rate at all time highs, 16.5 days would have seen many flight cancellations!!! Wise decision by CX but by no means a generous, from the bottom of their hearts thank you....me thinks anyway!!
