The consequence of this, as you've pointed out, is a number of pilots are looking about in self-preservation- career and health amidst a stressful and toxic culture.
I've been quite surprised. Pilots who only a few months ago had 3 year plans, 5 year plans, 10 year plans, after looking about and assessing the two buckets, are looking toward a future beyond Hong Kong.
It all seems to be going so distressingly bad, it must be deliberate?
