One must wonder how it all ever got so much out of control. Its a sad, sad story and set up Cathay Pacific management has managed to create.
I am happy that I did not have to witness the nasty 00-01' pilot dispute and even more happy about not having to witness the next one.
One thing you gotta credit CX for - they have managed to mis-manage all round - and not just here and there. Full credit on that.
