Dragon, the subject of '89' came up because a poster on this thread suggested a mass resignation a la 'that year. Yes, we know that it occurred over a quarter of a century ago, but it is the only major precedent for the mass resignation tactic. Quite rightly, a number of responders suggested that a similar tactic in Hong Kong would not end well.
Even though it involved a couple of pissant airlines down under, it had a profound effect globally for years, including solving crewing shortages for, inter alia, Swissair, Malaysian, Singapore, the Gulf airlines and of course Cathay Pacific. Australians became the Filipinos of the aviation industry. The 'grey wall' tactic of no communications with the pilots after the resignations is a response I am sure the industrial warfare consultants still have in their playbooks, along with the threat of legal action which led to the resignations in the first place.
Please indulge me, as I went through it all.
