Why do the FA's go on strike but pilots don't. Because they can go out and get any job in HK that will pay similar or more than what They currently get.
Brother, are you out of touch. Median starting wages for
college graduates in Hong Kong is at 20-year lows.
Salaries of Hong Kong?s university graduates dropped 20 per cent in last 20 years, study finds | South China Morning Post
FAs are only required to possess secondary school education, the job has a good deal of perks for young recent graduates and even starting pay is considerably higher than what college graduates can expect at most firms in Hong Kong for most positions these days.
I don't disagree with the gist of your post, but get real. FA is still one of the better paid jobs for most young people in Hong Kong starting out in the work force. It's the lack of career progression and pay increases that has most crew leaving within a few years.
No, the cabin crew were more easily rallied because they're a culturally more homogeneous group; they work in small teams per norm and are more engaged in social media platforms etcetera. It doesn't hurt that the % of local crew has grown to well over 70% of total crew. In short, they're a stronger peer group. Stakes certainly play a roll, but don't soft pedal their resolve to stand and fight ffs. These are the same kids standing in the streets fighting the commie juggernaut. I salute them and wish we had the kind of balls they had.
