Sad to hear of another base closure. One assumes the affected pilots will be treated with the same compassion, empathy and recognition of long service that other based pilots have received?

Are you joking? CX no longer has an compassion, empathy or recognition of long service....it is just another Asian LCC heading towards a hull loss. (I do hope you are joking, or simply no nothing about CX).

I did think it was a piss take, but these days it is hard to tell.
There are some out there who think the company did the right thing by ignoring the contract and pushing everyone on to POS18, instead of following LIFO and cutting 1500 off the bottom.

They really don't care if you cry or not - it's a relentless pressure to reduce costs and (hopefully for their stockholders) increase returns - that's capitalism.
Many industries have seen the same thing over the years - it just seems to happen faster now

I suspect all who joined on POS18 are pleased that the contract was abandoned and LIFO wasn't used. DFO and GMA are probably also pleased as forcing us all onto POS18 will help secure their bonuses.

CX lawyers wrong again! Could it be that CX hired the cheapest lawyers around for the EA expecting them to perform their duty more meticulous then higher payed lawyers? I wonder which other group within CX that the directors expect the same from?

A caring company would have left bases open until there was sufficient work in HKG for applicants to get visas. A well managed company would have moved pilots onto POS18, withheld HKG living allowance and left them on the base until they could be trained and used on the line.
CX has closed the bases and destroyed lives. The few with PR have moved back to HKG and are now doing no training and no work, but are separated from their families and incurring the added expense of living in HKG.
