ManofMan,
Seems like the person you were speaking to was not telling the truth
Just found this little nugget on the official CX face book page:
Poster:
Hi Cathay Pacific. Some CX sales reps in San Fransisco are saying MAN-HKG will be opened by the end of 2011, is this true?
Cathay Pacific response, word for word:
Hi Simon! Thank you for your inquiry. Please stay tuned for our official press release. Thanks.
Seems to me, judging by the wording, that this is a done deal, after all, I doubt they are going to make a press release to state they will not be serving MAN in 2011, just imagine how many press releases they would have to make for every city they are not serving!
The face book page is there for all joe public to see if anybody would like to verify the above
Looks like were are going to be seeing a few half chewed hats around the UK soon....
