^^^^^^^ like what he said!
They're only Pilots,fer crissakes. Paid far more than a bowl of rice and a rush-mat under the bench,all they did is what they're paid so well for.
Next you'll be wanting to treat them as Company saviours...that's what the Management do in their shiny suits and well-polished chairs.
They are the ones who should get the huge bonuses, they are the ones who chose the correct minions to serve.
Without their management skills, the airline would be swamped with claims from dependants of deceased pax. - not to mention the cost of SAR...AND there's a big pile of spares to salvage as well.
You peasants really should bow in gratitude to the mighty Cathay Management.
Meanwhile, I'll pass the word to all my contacts.
