Cathay cabin crew refuse service with a smile

Now on the BBC News - Cathay Pacific cabin crew vote for industrial action (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-20674455)
Cathay Pacific's cabin crew have voted in favour of an industrial action after their salary negotiations with the Hong Kong-based carrier broke down.
The Flight Attendant's Union (FAU) said it may implement work-to-rule measures to begin with, which could limit the services offered to passengers.

Will anybody notice the difference ? :E

Unless they have changed radically since 1996, yes, I think the difference would be very evident.

They've changed radically since 1996.

Personally I find CX the best of the best and fly with them at every opportunity and that's irrespective of class of travel.

They are the benchmark by which I measure all other airlines and that's as a BA Gold card holder

never thought their cabin crew were that good TBH

Airline is well run but it's a bit British Airways in the cabin

HAHA, in my part of the world the words service and smile are just about non existent. More like if you don't eat your peanuts like a good boy we will threaten to hand cuff you to the aft galley!
