411A - hmmm, not so sure...
this is really dodgy ground for CX (the US base), and they were always nervous about doing anything that could wind them up in a US court with regard to employment, immigration rules, FAA oversight of foreign carriers, etc. I know right now they'll be scratching their heads wondering....maybe they went too far this time.
I would put the odds much more towards "even" than you did....Shapiro and his chums must have spotted something in there somewhere...
Anyway,
not what CX need right now with all the other problems in world aviation in the present climate - it's hard enough just getting the pax on board. What a mess...
