I don't understand you guys ( as usual)
Let's assume for a moment everything you say about management is true.
Let's assume we have the worst possible management in the industry.
Let's assume we have the worst management if any airline in the history of civil aviation.
Let's assume the people in charge at Cathay ( and Swire and Air China ) are all complete idiots and morons, just a bunch of retarded over-paid insane lunatics.
Now what?
What is the point?
The only thing we can influence is our part in the contract negotiations. The only thing.
And boy, did we screw that up.
