Gosh, the pandemic and lock-down is turning you CX bods into softies ! Regularly drop into Fragrant Harbour (well, every day during lock-down) for my comic start to the day watching you guys turn everything into an ugly, personal, street brawl. But now, we are getting some pretty sensible offerings.Of course it is a gigantic control issue to reset the world stage in many areas .Many of us take that reasoned view to different extents but it is encouraging to see such views emerging from the Harbour. Only good wishes to all in these life altering times.

How’s the new ‘Two Countries, One System’ paradigm working out for Cathay?

Are you saying this is the next pilot shortage, the big one everyone is waiting for? Not judging, you could be onto something, fast forward 2-3 years from now, and the tables could very well be turned.

Very believable, didn’t the expat pilots mainly do international flights?

I happen to believe there’s an element of truth in that article. Have a quick look at Flightradar24. They’re obviously crewing those flights somehow.
It may not be possible to discern how many passengers are actually being carried or how much they are paying for their tickets, but it is possible to see that there has been something of a rebound in domestic traffic. The rise in pollution levels tells me the World’s Factory is grinding back to life and business is beginning to pick up. Meanwhile Cathay is, not technically, but effectively excluded from it’s domestic market. Sad.

20%-25% job cuts coming LIFO stands
Numbers being thrown around are between 500 to 1600.
If you’re on the bottom of the seniority list, prepare.
Targeting long haul flying reduction of >60% until March 2021.

Because there is a process.
Senior management are designing what they believe is the right structure of the company.
Upon the completion of that process the board will be informed and will debate the merits or otherwise of such a restructure.
Once the board makes a decision the HKEX will be informed and trading in company shares halted until the market can be briefed (as the public are part owners of the company),
Then and only then will the training department be given their new instructions. Rightly or wrongly until then the ship will continue to sail straight ahead.
I’m only speculating but my guess is any leaked “plans” will be coming from the myriad of outside lawyers working with senior management.

With respect, I don’t think it takes notification of the HKEX to stop hiring and training new joiners. That doesn’t make any sense, but I think you are generally correct about there being a process that takes (too much) time to unfold.
Unfortunately, CX has, once again, proven itself very inflexible and without vision. Of course, anyone here for longer than a few years knows that. Think fuel hedging, rostering, branding, product differentiation, etc.

My guess (which is as good/bad as anyones), is 23% on the Barbie Jet and 7% Scarebus.

"If the industry is expected to recover ~2023/24 why accept anything other than temporary changes to your contract?"
Why accept any reductions in contracts and/or new inferior contracts at all when the industry was booming?
