Well their greed shows through yet again . Personally if I were a passenger I would take my business elsewhere .They screw up with the fuel hedging and the CAD permits CX to gouge the passengers

Sad
I do have a bias, it's aimed at incompetent directors and managers who are incapable of managing costs and overheads and then are allowed by the HK government to arbitrarily ad the cost of their incompetence to passenger tickets..
#RunForTheDoors it's the only answer.

You have to beg for salt and pepper and employees get an "Inclusivity Policy" along with forced "Unconscious Bias " courses.

Extra charges
HK Airpor Authority is also wanting to charge a fee for "each" piece of baggage !!!
This is what you get from CX and its "wholly owned" profit sucking subsidiary..

I feel ashamed having to ask for salt and pepper.....
Even more demonstrative of the penny pinching cutbacks was the shortage of the “snack” options available between the normal meal services.
I enjoyed one of these nice snacks during our flight from Hong Kong to Europe and later on when I thought I might have another one, I was told you’ve had yours and there’s only one per person!
On a 13 hour flight, one snack per person when I’ve paid over $7,000 AUD for the ticket!
But it got even better when my wife asked for another bottle of water and they had to take her empty bottle and re-fill it from their larger bottle!
Additionally, I had to change seats on 2 of our 4 sectors as the lie flat bed on the Boeing 777’s were in such poor condition, it was extremely uncomfortable to sit in, let alone lie down.
But then just last week I received an A4 sized glossy booklet from Rupert Hogg telling me how great Cathay Pacific is.
Maybe instead of wasting money on **** like that, they could just invest it into their product and then their customers will do their advertising for them.
At this point in time, I’m looking at any other airlines that honour Asia Miles. Cathay Pacific are sending me to their competition and they’re too belligerent to even notice!
But hey, they’ve saved 50 cents by not providing salt and pepper so that should earn somebody a bonus!

Sadly Dan, the CEO wouldn't care. He's got a nice smile but the same rotten, outdated and destructive mindset (that's what eventually happens when your entire senior ranks are brainwashed from the same incestuous OxBridge nursery school). Bullwinkle sums up the state of things quite nicely in the cabin. It's become an embarrassment over the years. Now the same rot is setting into Flight Ops, and let's just say you can sense there's a bit of "salt and pepper" starting to go missing there as well. CX is done, and most of us who work here certainly sense it, if can't quite get themselves to acknowledge it yet. Give it time.... (personally, i'd purchase stock in the SCMP and local papers, as the day is coming they will have a headline to sell a LOT of papers...just saying).

Flew back from London the other day. Last row of J. Both meals, when they got to the back of our section, there was only one selection left. Really pleasing for all the paying pax sitting around me. In many airlines, they start one meal service from one end, and the second meal service from the other, thereby assuring that each pax gets at least one meal of their choice. Too difficult for CX I suppose.
