Cathay Pacific yesterday sacked a captain and two other pilots in a move the aircrew union believes is aimed at forcing pilots to end their industrial action over pay and rosters.
A pilot source said staff believed Cathay wanted to make an example of him in a bid to convince colleagues to call off their campaign. "A couple of weeks ago, a senior manager said 'what we need to do is sack 20 or 30 of them and the rest will get the message'," the source said. Cathay denies the comments.

An obviously pre-meditated tactic, by an over-the-top management.
Other airlines that have gone down this road have ended up defunct, or bare shadows of their former selves at the end of it all, and I predict the once great Cathay Pacific will be no different.
There is no place in aviation for management of the current CX mentality - they will destroy an airline tp prove their point.
