Simon Large is Director Customer of Cathay Pacific, responsible for managing brand, corporate communications, marketing communications, corporate affairs and loyalty programmes.
Mr Large was previously Director Cargo, responsible for all aspects of the Group’s cargo business worldwide, including operations, marketing and sales; and prior to that General Manager Marketing, Loyalty Programmes & CRM. He joined the Swire group in 1991.
Anna Thompson took up the position of Director Flight Operations on 10 April 2015. Her previous post was General Manager Aircrew in Cathay Pacific’s Flight Operations Department.
Ms Thompson joined the airline in 1990 and has held a wide range of managerial positions in Hong Kong and overseas. She was also seconded to Cathay Pacific subsidiary Air Hong Kong as Chief Operating Officer.
FAA Airmen inquiry returns an Anna Louise Thompson student pilot 1991, if correct, this was deemed acceptable by the board, best candidate for Director of Flight Operations of an International Airline. I would question the reasoning, impact and worth of those responsible.

Cathay's golden begging bowl Bloomberg 140817 Cathay cost cutting SCMP 150817
ME3 US/EU, even a stick has two ends, it'd pay Cathay to look both ways; East and West, South as well, Jane Hrdlicka may be interested, Golden era for tourism; before heading North.

On Time Performance = OTP . Delays. Anyone who flies with this airline knows about the constant delays so there should be no surprise that having said that they would announce the results at 12-00 they have been delayed until 16-30. Sounds about par for the course.

That is what results from having the worlds 'finest' management. I smell a corporate con job of historic proportions. Moving money between subsidiaries, deliberately being overcharged by other Swire companies. Murky facts regarding fuel hedging, complete opacity and unaccountably from managers who have limited exposure to aviation. This is the end game for CX. Set up for sale. It will all seem so obvious a few years from now. If any of you harbour any hopes as to CX being the career airline of your dreams, you will soon be relieved of that delusion. It is simply CX/Swire using a manufactured crisis to accomplish more cost cutting. Either stand firm now, or lay down forever.

We have no money. Oh wait, didn't we just purchase the rest of Air Hong Kong? Oh, didn't I see that the management awarded themselves pay raises just a few months ago? What about their bonuses? You can't make this kind of farce up if you tried. Takes a special kind of person to be a Swire manager. How do you live devoid of normal moral principles? An embarrassment in the industry, and will eventually be a business school case study on how to destroy a legacy carrier, just like Pan Am. Interesting how the rest of the industry is rolling in record profits. A sickening spectacle...on every level. RIP CX.

Page 18 - fuel hedging cost 3,237m HKD.
Actually Trafalgar, I don't think it is a con job - they would have written down the aircraft (like QF did couple years back) if that is the case. I think they genuinely are like deer in the headlights, unable to comprehend what happened to their nice cosy quasi monopoly business

So, the fuel hedging is single highhandedly bringing the entire airline down. One catastrophically stupid mistake has unwound 30 years of profits? Defies belief. And the only people to pay for it are the employees, who actually do their jobs properly. No accountability from management on any level. They are a disgrace and should all be fired for cause. Without the fuel hedging disaster, we would be highly profitable. The entire city of HK should be up in arms at the incompetence that has destroyed one of the signature company's in the industry. I now know what the pilots of Pan Am must have felt like all those years ago. Makes me sick. I hope that the managers stay locked in their offices. I don't want to lay eyes on a single one of them. Nauseating.
