Global warming...erm 'climate change' or whatever it's being called this week is being exposed as the scam that it is. Nice try, but the airline has missed the boat appealing to its pilots on this one. The last few pages of the applicable thread on Jet Blast are interesting reading. Mr Gore and a few others have been very quiet lately.
Having said that, would anyone care to take a guess on how many tonnes of fuel have been unnecessarily burnt into the atmosphere because of China's ridiculous airspace structure? Thousands? Hundreds of thousands? The dollar cost must be mind-blowing.
CX should be badgering the Chinese government over the issue, but that would not be as easy as hassling their own pilots.
