HK riots and future of HK aviation
In the likelyhood that Beijing is successful, especially before the October anniversary of the successful revolution, what would happen to Cathay Pacific and the rest of the aviation community in Hong Kong? Asking before I might take a job with CX.

If you’re not from HK, I wouldn’t even consider it. It’s one thing to be chained and shackled by seniority to CX. Putting yourself in chains amidst all this uncertainty is just plain dumb.

Your knowledge of Fifth Generation carrier fighter operations will be warmly welcomed and gently extracted. Honey trapping galore and a whole team from Unit 61398 will be with you 24/7 electronically.
Little chance of this place being Beirut by X-mas but living here you are in a pressure cooker that's late 1930's like.
Jesting but really? People are living in fear.

Alternative, being picked up on the street like Joshua Wong on Suspicion of illegal gathering.
Extradited to China?
This is real. Even as a western pilot, (with Perm HK ID) I am out buying mtr tickets, food, and putting in hours behind the scene to help.
China will lose this battle.. They may win the war, I'm not that arrogant, but we will win this battle.

Aside from learning I was insane, you guys were of no use. I wasn't looking for a diagnosis of me, rather wanted to see what might happen with aviation in HK. Cheers.

How can anyone really know what will happen? Unless you are a diehard ChiCom, it’s hard to argue that events in HK are in any way positive. Don’t need a PhD to figure that out! Cheers.

This guy said it better than I can:
"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

the DFO finally made it to the news ......for driving in opposite direction and hitting a protestor with the cathay car.... and also purposely banging a reporter with the door

Naw, he bent so far over even before this started I'd be surprised if he'll ever stand erect again... Just like Merlin now !!
