Well said 777ER. The racial comments and tasteless generalisations on this thread serve only to cheapen us all collectively whether made by "whites"; "yellows"; "Singaswine"; "bedwetters" or any other group.
I abhor the discrimination against certain segments of the HKA pilot force but this do not justify racism, sexism or homophobia. The victims of blatant mismanagement by this sad airline risk turning themselves into objects of disdain by using such intemperate language. This plays straight into the hands of those who want to stir this hornet's nest for their own ends and amusement.
Perhaps a little more thought before hitting the send button might make the obvious agent provocateur tactics of some posts (such as the rubbish about HKE pilots) more apparent and less worthy of response?
In the end the major shareholders (who are ethnic Chinese) may be the ones who axe the current inept management (who are also ethnic Chinese) just as the last President and his side kick were sacked (both ethnic Chinese).
