Cx and Hkid
Why would Cathay really bother to invite a candidate to stage 2/3 in Hong Kong knowing very well they will not finally take you due to the current immigration issues involving non hkid holders for ab initio? Mind you, somebody has to buy a ticket to transit to a nearest port CX flies to, paying highly for it, in order to connect to their flight to HK. Talk of "escorting others to do the actual interview".
