When CX flight crew get the smarmy update along the lines of 'This is my first update as DFO/GMA and I look forward to working with you...' etc etc, they must remember that both these individuals were involved in the cowardly Star Chamber episode, where they selected pilots for termination in an attempt to intimidate the rest of the CX pilot group.
Newer joiners to Cathay Pacific would do well to ask some of the 'old hands' about those times and what it led to (still with reverberations being felt today). It caused great anguish to many CX pilots, poisoned aircrew-management relations for a decade and indeed, hurt Cathay Pacific itself.
Please be guided accordingly.
