Shortly,is there no end to your perfidy? Once again let me correct your misinformation.....CX HAD to 'give' away its lucrative Beijing and Shanghai routes in return for the rump of CAAC applying (and automatically reiceiving) a licence to fly internatinally from Hong Kong. This was not done in the spirit of lets help the little guy but a sound business decision on the Swine groups behalf. Now,as ever CX wants to have its cake and eat it....ie fly within China, having finally seen that it has given away the crown jewels, and to use its international connections to take its pax and freight onwards. Sure NOW it wants a public forum....no doubt to show KA as the bad guy.....but these aint the facts.
