Not Here,

I suspect a little matter of the Olympic Torch Relay probably weighs more heavily on the mind of the world-wide Chinese community than any action by HKA mismanagement!

Sadly the hopes for things getting better probably rests in the hands of HNA admitting that they have made a mistake in their selection of the latest senior management and that could be a "face" issue. HNA will in any case be focused on the commercial issues not the personnel iniquities. HNA are very hard nosed

In the end it will be the dismissal of the clowns who hired your tormentors in the first place that will see the current Flt Ops management being removed.

Although the HKCAD part in the long running saga of clear operational weaknesses (ever since CR days) is less than praiseworthy to date they could still be a useful conduit for change. That requires your pilots to work with them, rather than making rather pathetic references to "Bedwetters". It would be futile to pin hopes on them unless there are clear safety issues that can be proven by reference to QAR data or demonstable non compliance issues. If there are such examples HNA and the CAD will run scared if they come out into the open. However, the path of a "whistle blower" is not an easy one, and justice only prevails in Hollywood productions so protect your six o'clock!

I would take a bet that in the end the reason the latest lot will be shown the door is because of (inevitable) commercial failure and incompetence, not any perceived sympathy for mismanging the pilot force.

Who knows, it could lead to the right result for the wrong reasons!
