GBA will make its grand entrance later this year, magically at the same time the border with the motherland opens up.
The whole POS 18, ‘blame the virus spread on CX’ etc. has been in the making for the last few years. It’s all in the grand scheme to get rid of the Swires and their british legacy airline, once and for all.

The reality is that pilots are becoming a low paid skill set.
Inflicting oneself to this mental anguish for financial compensation says a lot about the profession. In other countries their self worth is slightly higher, but CX has found a new bottom.
This truly is the ‘boiler room’ on a 1800’s Swire steam ship.

In the US you have Captains at the major airlines making over $500K (some Fedex captains have made a $m + with overtime). A two year FO makes almost $200K at most majors. So no, not all pilots are considered a low paid skill set. Only in places where people are willing to work for low wages will that model survive. The lesson of that need not be emphasized...

If these clowns want to keep paying me for doing absolutely nothing, I'll let em
I bet they wished they laid off non PR cx pilots from the bottom of the list, now forced to re hire ex KA guys while hundreds of FO's and SO's sit idle.
How insanely stupid but then again nothing makes sense around here anymore.

getting rid of cx doesn't mean wiping it out of existence.... the Gov has 2 Party-nominated secretaries on the board, Air China has ppl on the board, who knows what will happen next... maybe they'll arrest a few non-Chinese directors and force Swire to handover the rest of it.... wouldn't put it past the dictatorship these days, I have a feeling the arrest of the 2 ex-cabin crew are just the beginning

Internally, no non Chinese entity shall control business in China.
Externally, that is the fault of the gweilos for allowing a Chinese business to have control under their corporate laws.
Want to invest in China, then play by their rules, this hasn’t changed in decades..
Don't confuse jurisdictions.

Here comes the big disgusting shock, animals are now contracting covid-19, multiple animals at a zoo's around the world have got it, all the cats! If they just killed 20,000 hamsters what do you think they'll do to all the domestic cats & dogs?
On a lighter note, Omicron isn't all that bad and the next variant will probably be called Pi. It will be ironic if fat people started getting Pi.
The world really has gone to the dogs.
