Airport closed
 

Any truth in the rumour that "Cathay City" is now known as "Karma City"?

Is there access to Google, Facebook, etc. in HK, or is it just in China where it is not allowed?

Bit of a lie from Authority. Many included 888 are going out. Lots of transit pax that have no where to go.. whilst HKG originating pax can't board.. they will continue some of the schedule with the transiting pax.

not really a lie... article from the outset said departing flights 'not already checked in'. So if the check-in was/has been completed they can depart. Also if the flight was already airborne/inbound to HKG when the closure was made official, they can continue.

Also, flight radar shows some cargo flights departing that aren't passenger dependent.

Glaringly obvious that none of these protesters (and now the banned/suspended CX Crew and Cabin Attendants ) had the highly successful "exposure" to Merlins Top Driven "Unconscious Bias and Inclusivity" training program crammed down many throat's..

So sad as none of this would be happening !!

Pretty funny if it wasnt so serious.....its is karma though....the same company that runs roughshod over its employees tears up conditions of service and even infamously ran a star chamber to sack pilots...now gets told to shut up and take it.....by someone bigger....slow clap....how does it feel cx management? Not nice is it.

Time to conclude this party is over. As someone else mentioned, there is a bigger bully than CX in town now. Hong Kong will not recover from this, at least not back to what she was. Beijing will ensure a fairly ruthless control over HK going forward, as they can't afford to let HK infect the thinking across the border. The HK Govt has officially lost control, and even now that useless harridan Carrie Lam won't resign. Reminds me of our management. No accountability. CX is finished as we know it. Most of us quietly understand that.

Highly enjoying watching our feckless leader J Coleslaw squirm in the wind. Here is the man who cravenly gave up his US citizenship in exchange for Chinese citizenship a few years ago to curry favour with the mainland authorities, now being effectively targeted by those same authorities for his moronic and unwelcome comments regarding the protestors. How's that worked out for you Mr. Coleslaw? :ok:. Now, not only is he considered persona non-grata in China, but he can't even go back "home" to the USA (foreigners to the right, have passports ready...! haha). Live by the sword, die by the sword. It's quite serendipitous to watch our incompetent and morally vacuous managers find themselves on the receiving end of the same abuse they have meted out to their staff for years. Time to pull up a comfy chair and get another bag of popcorn... This should be good. (oh, and how is your share price doing Johny and Roop...? Hmmm, lower than it was 20 years ago, another sign of a successful management). You couldn't make this up.

It's a bit more subtle than that. What Cathay has said is a dismissable offence is taking part in (or expressing support for) illegal protests. As I understand it, they are still OK with staff joining legal protests (albeit that the chances of the police legitimising any protests through Notice Of No Objection in the near future seems pretty slim).

...."ok with staff joining legal protests".... Ok, if you believe that you really don't understand how things work in HK, or with our management. If you read between the lines, you can be sure what they mean is that ANY association with the protests they will use against you. Regardless, this has now reached the point of no return, and not all the kings horses or all the kings men can put Humpty HK back together again... It is over. There is no way the mainland is going to let HK become a risk to their control of greater China. If they have to crush a company or two like CX they will not hesitate. Even better for them as they can then let China Southern quietly gobble up market share. CX is finished, not least because of our proven hopeless, clueless and morally vacuous management. Fact is most of the staff really don't car anymore. The cabin crew aren't paid enough to care, and the pilots are mostly looking for other jobs anyway. Or is there anyone here that still think sunny days are coming for pilot careers at CX? :rolleyes:

Just finished having dinner with a friend of mine, married to a cabin crew. He said that many of the cabin crew are planning to defy CX management and become even more involved, in hopes of embarrassing CX even more. As he told me, "most of them really don't care, and they are not going to be told what to think by gwailo managers when it comes to HK's future". JS and RH are toast. As a matter of fact, this airline is toast. The "black swan" event has finally happened and it will devour this airline slowly but surely. Once you get all your employees offside, there is no one left to support you when times get tough. Most of the staff don't really care anymore.
