Her goose was cooked at this point: "One of the managers asked Ms Sy whether the posts were hers, and she confirmed they were."
In the immortal words of Roger Stone: “Admit nothing. Deny everything. Act surprised. Look concerned. Make counter-accusations”
Oh, I know they would have got to her in the end, but at least make them fight for it.
Never, ever talk to the cops (even if you are innocent), and never mistake the Chief Pilot's friendliness for sympathy or that you might get a fair hearing.

I second those comments especially regarding the chief pilot ,he will be smiling and shaking your hand , then the sudden pain you feel in your side is him sticking the knife between your ribs.

Did you read the whole report?
What a sorry tale. I have no doubt that Cx acted as a response to pressure from China.
But this is not new for Cathay to use bastardry and intimidation. Some may remember how they set up the head of the cabin crew union, a Filipina, in around 1991 or so following a successful cabin crew strike. This very brave lady went on to sue CX and win an undisclosed settlement. Who could forget the 49er's.
A pox upon them and their sycophants.

This all boils down to trust. There is not a lot when you think of all the times in history the company has abused or manipulated their employees. The very own contract we are employed under gives them that power to sack us without a single explanation as to why. All of the employee’s sacked so far have not been given a reason they are just given 90 days notice. How would the company treat our based colleagues? They are protected from this discrimination as they have protections in their contracts requires just cause.
Trust is earned.

The based employees are protected by Federal Labour Laws; a huge difference when compared to Hong Kong's Labour Laws. On occasion it has cost CX a pretty penny whenever they've fired based crew members using the same tactics they use in Hong Kong. It goes to show, the manager that decided to fire a based crew member has nil knowledge of the Labour Law of the particular country, or Employee Relations have not done adequate research when the decision is made.
