The carrier denied the move was a cost-cutting measure,
Of course, it's not. Whatever is saved by flying filthy airplanes will be offest by bigger bonuses.
Rupert Hogg, Cathay Pacific’s chief operating officer and a director of Cathay Dragon, said he could see how “some people might think it is a cost-cutting measure but of course we have no intention of flying dirty aircraft”.
Absolutely, all you have to do is readjust your definition of 'dirty'.
Those airplanes fly chock full of people in a non-ventilated environment for 17 hours/day on average, how much dirtier can they really get if you clean them half as often?
Plus, the dry cabin environment prevents bacteria from festering anyway, right?
It's all good.
