HKG Based Cabin Crew

I do understand the points that some of you have made about the HKG ICC crew. Yes, they signed the contract and yes, they are employed overseas.

However. They work on a British registered aircraft, spend time training in London and work albeit briefly in UK airspace. They also spend much if not all their downroute (ie "work") time in London.

Moreover, forget the laws and the contracts and everything else for the moment and ask yourself - is this fair?

For once, Unite are supporting an ethical issue, and I for one wish the HKG crew the best of luck.

Meanwhile, at LHR sadly, its a completely different story.
