Firstly cx now has 320’s.... secondly, having done both, I can assure you certain destinations in China are a 100 times more difficult than any long haul I have ever done. My long haul days were operated for an Asian airline( rated one of the safest airlines in the world) a local full function captain had around 100 landings in his total career before he got ungraded. When you flying long haul, Total hours means nothing, be because you acrue them very quickly as a result of sector time, 3000 hrs is nothing in the long haul division, agreed, however, the local ka pilots that were let go, 3000 hrs is a substantial amount of experience, all sectors are short, mostly 3 a day, to some very tricky destinations. They are very capable.

When the reality sinks in, I suspect many will conclude it's no longer viable staying in HK. With a family it will be almost impossible to not be upside down each month. Add in the impossibility of commuting (never mind the cost) and you quickly recognise that you are going backwards each month. I predict the resignations will begin to flow in at an ever increasing rate in the coming months. As an expat airline, CX is finished.

Under current conditions I don’t blame anyone for signing , it gives them a breathing space during the pandemic . Once things pick up I can see a large number of people finding other jobs in their home countries

Exactly what he said. Most of us realize that there is no future here, when the world reopens, the exodus will begin. I would not be surprised if CX is woefully short of pilots in two years time. I guess that is a gamble they are willing to take.
