Exactly my point old chap. But February or March is too early to tell anything. It's pretty obvious that we won't know how the recovery is progressing until we have data on it, which won't be until the second half of 2021. Anything sooner would make blatant their deception.

If they impose a 12 days hotel quarantine for HKG based crew(effectively treating HKG Based as based crew), then they should relax the layover requirement for HKG based crew as well. Otherwise, what is the point. Even Australia allows OZ based crew to be quarantined at home.

Qantas now have to quarantine their crew in Darwin for their repatriation flights. Crew can volunteer for the repatriation flights and are given a 56 day roster, up to 28 days away from Aus, 14 days Quarantine in Darwin, then rest of the 56 days off at home base. I have seen the EOI emails they received.

Layoffs ??
Recruitment drive you mean...
Since last October i jumped up 50 spots on the seniority list. And that’s from around 1350 to 1300.
literaly everybody i know plans on leaving as soon as they can, and jobs will become available in the next 6 months, as there are some now.
The golden handcuffs that we used to wear have been kindly removed by the company with the introduction of cos18. All those jobs back home that we used to laugh about suddenly have become really attractive (low cost, regional, corporate)
Those jets in the OZ desert will stay there for a long time because there will be no one left to fly them.

I’ve been around a fair while. Actually, it’s fair to say, ‘too long’…….
During my time here I’ve flown with colleagues from almost all over the World, and every background; some ex-military, some not; some very highly experienced, some just starting their journey and finding it hard to wade through the Cathay molasses. Through it all though, I’ve seen no common thread. Some are good at it, some not so good, some are bloody awful, and background has very little to do with it. I’d almost say I’ve seen it all. Almost all, but with one glaring exception!! I can’t help wondering why It’s remained the case for so long, that I’d be more likely to fly with somebody from Timbuktu than somebody from Tianjin? Wouldn’t bother me.
I do see a recruitment drive coming. And about time too! After all, given the utopia that Cathay has at long last achieved, it’d be a terrible shame to see the company’s hard won reputation for fair play besmirched by a blatant prejudice against China’s finest Air Force Pilots and the most ablest son’s and daughters of Party Members, (or at least the very few of them that haven’t graduated from top flight business schools), just because they’re Chinese, wouldn’t it? Doesn’t make any sense that China’s finest low cost carrier should continue to discriminate against Chinese talent!! Wouldn’t you agree?
Indeed, I can foresee both a recruitment drive, and layoffs. 😉

The scarcity always only concerned Captains, to recruit cadets should be feasible. Badge is raising an interesting point, I always wondered why they don't recruit from the mainland. Surely there must be immigration limits? I could not think of any other reason. Language maybe, but in a couple of years in Adelaide this could be fixed..
