But it doesn't cover Hong Kong so it doesn't help CX increase the number of flights to Australia.

So the Chinese could be looking for a few pilots on Australian bases then? And CX announces quite a few PER basings (yes Anotherday I know it is to make up the numbers). But isn't the timing interesting? Plus we get to get rid of more of that expensive hedged fuel for them when we compete with the mainlanders for flight levels.

Just read the latest whinge and for what it's worth I've heard it all before, including 'We are fighting for our survival' in the late '90's. It had started with Red Oddington early in that decade, and the broken record has been playing ever since.

CX will lose all the transit passengers who will now fly direct avoiding HKG, thus freeing up seats.

Someone still has to fly the aircraft, regardless whose paint scheme is on them. Lots of commuting jobs with China Southern and quite a few Cathay (both red and green) pilots are being interviewed.

Not at CX! We just put zero time heroes into the cockpit seats, and the wheels keep turning. It's actually a competitive advantage for us, right up to the point when we pack one in ( and that day IS coming) and CX's safety reputation goes the way of its service level. That's when the airline will be doomed for good.

The link is useless as it is behind a pay wall. What does it say?

Critical moment for airline industry. Boeing, warns 558 000 pilots needed globally by 2034 a surge in air travel, 28 000 a year. Boeing’s research demand varies between regions over next 20 years. Asia Pacific, 226 000. Economic growth in countries such as China, air travel for millions of new flyers.

Industry needs to get its act together, says Jim McAuslan, general secretary of the British Airline Pilots Association. Europe will face more problems; we know in our own membership that 90 pilots will be reaching 65 in the next 12 months, numbers start ratcheting up by 2021, 250 of our pilots reach that age per year.

Oliver Sleath, analyst at Barclays, the situation may become tighter in Europe, especially as the industry carries on growing above the rate of growth in GDP.

Western Sydney Airport regional classification

Australian air service agreements tend to limit foreign airlines operations to Australia's four major capitals.
