Seeing as they're partly to blame for the conditions I wouldn't expect much pity from them.
Aside from 20 cadets going to Qatar and maybe some being able to apply to Cathay on their own behalf, what Middle-Eastern and Far-Eastern carriers are they referring to? It's all well and good saying that there is growth in these areas, but the lion's share of resulting jobs are going to go to nationals going through the airlines' own cadet streams (most Far-Eastern carriers have ab-initio schemes just for nationals, as do Emirates and Etihad in the ME), not CTC graduates.
