"Repeated attempts to contact Hong Kong Airlines were unsuccessful. However, Ng To-wing, for the company, told Cable TV in a phone interview yesterday that Hong Kong Airlines needed to cut down manpower, as business had dropped by 10 to 15 per cent with the economic downturn and because of a seasonal business low.
Mr Ng said it was also difficult to say if there would be further lay-offs at this stage and the company would make a decision depending on market conditions."
If they want to cut down on manpower why have new names been appearing on the rosters before and after the first round of sackings?
Something for the media to find out I guess....
