No "incident" here, old man.
Intimidation, union busting and vindictiveness. Take your pick, or all three. They are acting like the colonial masters never left. They're the Taipan's, the pilots are the "coolies".
It's like calling the bombing of the USS Vincennes an "incident". This attack is an attack on all labour in Hong Kong and on pilots in general. You may not have this at heart as you're not an aviator yourself, but this will have far-reaching implications for all in this profession. Applaud this only if you are Swire management.
If you continue to believe the garbage that emanates from the halls of the propaganda department of CX, I doubt your independence of thought. You appear to be an intelligent man.
THINK.
