HKG quarantines 130 cargo pilots....

[jetjockey696]

130 pilots placed in the cooler Penny Bay correctional facility, for 21 days "detained at Her Majesty's pleasure" :} They are damn scared to upset big daddy.. he might take away the opening again and again.

Well done again, government *****!
Hope all will come out alive and mentally sane.

AFAIK that 130 number isn’t the correct figure. It’s a big number though, enough to realise the joke of a situation we are enslaved in.

Cabin crew got drawn it to this debacle as well correct?

[Jamesd03]

Yes any aircrew that stayed at the hotel were deemed at risk

Breathtaking hypocrisy from the Chinese Government representative. I thought it was was just the office workers and management who regarded Cathay pilots as scum, but its everyone from the government down. What a dreadful place to be.

All visitors to Hong Kong are equal, but some visitors are more equal than others.

I am sure big brother wants a way out of this nonsense approach too.

It will be too late when they finally do find their way out of this corner they have painted themselves into. Many people and companies already leaving. But perhaps, that’s in their view desirable.

Fedex shutting down its HKG base:

More room for SF Express to move into:}

Already too late. Curried Lamb is a muppet and will be remembered as the lady who sealed the death knell for HK. The only redeeming feature is that she has nowhere to fly away to now that most countries have banned her from entry.

Keep watching the "real" news and FedEx will just be the first in a tsunami of corporations, head offices, banks & retail outlets to RUN from the new ground zero of totalitarian manipulated communism that is Hong Kong...
It used to be the "gateway" to China; it's now the flush lever on the toilet !!!
