Yes me too. It was like the competition to give a new name to Dragonair House. Which was won by those who suggested Cathay Dragon House as if it was going to be named any differently.
There was no way Dragonair had the ability to transfer to Boeing. The airline is driven by a Airbus-cadet ethos. All training shortcomings, including structural and ab initio, are mitigated by Airbus technology. Perhaps the board also realised the hard, cold facts that KA has one of the industries most costly command training programs that delivers what to some management, is a satisfyingly high failure rate. A Boeing switch-over could have been a disaster.
