EXEZY. You for real. CX would not have noticed RDO if it wasn't for the AOA??? Rest assured CX lobbyist were there with Legco members trying to water down the RDO at the inception. All major employers in HKG were put on notice well before the introduction of RDO.
So maybe AOA were trying their best to keep up with the process and trying to pre empt what CX were going to do.
You then explain how CX are going to use the RDO to reduce terms of flight crew etc, isn't that exactly what the AOA are trying to prevent!!!
Hardly in cahoots!!
