Probably didn't want to be flying beat up sh*tty old TriStars
Well, I expect none of 'em have any experience in the TriStar anyway, so they would be of no use to an L10 operator.
However, plenty of jobs elsewhere for experienced guys, so one wonders...just what is the draw for CX, seeing as how they are now turning the screws on SO's...and others...and there is, under HK law, absolutely nothing the employees can do about it.
AOA, or no AOA.
