mole: are you for real?
Ask yourself: who are the most vocal advocates of the ban? Right: they are current CX employees, drawing their regular income.
And who is the ban targeted at: people seeking a job.
So we have the classic situation of "do as I say, not as I do".
Your argument about the upgrade ban makes no sense, either, particularly as you harp on about the economic and employment realities in Hong Kong (as in "Are you serious? Strike in Hong Kong?"). There is an old saying: "If you don't like the heat, get out of the kitchen."
The reality in Hong Kong is that for everyone, times have changed. Unless you're here for a brief stint, you can forget about these fabled expat contracts with huge apartments on the South Side, club memberships, generous home leave, paid school fees etc. It's the economic reality, you bargain for what you can get. If you don't like the best deal, look elsewhere.
Do you really need any more stepping stones?
