There has been speculation that some of our crew hotels, most of them the poorer ones, along with the awful 'food court' in CX City, are connected with a previous CX CEO of Singaporean descent, and/or his family...does anyone out there in PPRUNE land have first-hand knowledge?

You mean the same guy who ownes half of the Starbucks franchise in HK?

The same guy that put 2 very big white Dragons at the main enterance of Hello Kitty City to ward off the evil Gwilo spirits?

The same guy that stopped all foreign cabin crew recruitment?

Oh that guy..............

The worst thing they did was to change the food court in CX city, I haven't eaten there since. Sadly they removed choice and replaced it with "maxims choice" which is somehow different.

I have boycotted 'Maxim's' for nearly a decade since the industrial 'unpleasantness' of 1999-2001 and also because of the swill that they serve there.

I would encourage all crew to do the same.
