Donated. Thanks for setting this up and huge kudos to the guys who saved that man's life.
Considering how they cheaped out on the guys who saved the hull coming in from SUB, is it any surprise that they would do this to two good Samaritans?

Its in CAD aka Looneys - or close to USD!
Not hiding - thanks for setting this up. Politics aside I do think it is a great thing to reward those that do the right thing. If what happens here also embarrass'es CX management that is just a happy coincidence!
It's CAD - or looneys if you are a local. Effectively USD!
PS of course I donated - how could I not!!!!!!

WOW! 34 donations so far totalling CAD$824 with some donations of CAD$50, CAD$88 and even CAD$100!!
Thanks guys and gals! You are an impressive bunch (albeit a small bunch!)
Hopefully someone has put this on the AOA forum where those who don't visit PPRuNe can see it.
I've already been contacted by the SCMP (that was fast!) I will give more pilots the chance to find out about this and to make their small donations before it "goes public."
Does everyone agree with that?

Just spotted this on CX fb in Canada... must be a response to the story?
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the passengers who rendered assistance to a fellow passenger in need. We have already offered upgrade vouchers that are valid for a year to the two passengers and their travel companions in addition to other reimbursements soon after the event as a token of our gratitude. We are very sorry to have learned about their flight experience on their way home to Toronto. We welcome the passengers to travel with Cathay Pacific again.

The CX Facebook Canada posting was made at 0900 on Friday, September 5. Funny how it doesn't mention the flight number, date, or anything else. Anyone reading this Facebook posting who is not aware of this story would have no clue what that posting means.
Keep 'em coming! (donations, that is)...
Oval, let's keep this positive! It doesn't need to be a win for anyone other than Mr. Goomber and Mr. Li.

For example, get the SCMP to publish a story that the Cathay pilots, despite having had no cost of living increase in their salaries for many years, and because their employer doesn't value these hero passengers, just like it doesn't value its pilots, are all chipping in to buy two hero passengers tickets!

Only problem here is we want $16,000 and have raised about $1000. Be careful we don't end up looking the stupid ones when it's such a great idea. Dig deep or face the consequences because our 'leaders' will be 'watching with interest'. With the agreement of the AOA, some large donation from Their fund would help.
