HK riots and future of HK aviation
In the likelyhood that Beijing is successful, especially before the October anniversary of the successful revolution, what would happen to Cathay Pacific and the rest of the aviation community in Hong Kong? Asking before I might take a job with CX.

I wouldn't even consider CX until this whole situation is resolved. Way too many risks in every situation I can think of.

Shall wait and see how HKA/HKC manage the current situation in order to have a clearer picture.

Just amazes me how you can find someone who can manage to talk themselves into a crap bucket. Do you not read the newspaper? |
Your knowledge of Fifth Generation carrier fighter operations will be warmly welcomed and gently extracted. Honey trapping galore and a whole team from Unit 61398 will be with you 24/7 electronically.
Little chance of this place being Beirut by X-mas but living here you are in a pressure cooker that's late 1930's like. Jesting but really? People are living in fear. |

Alternative, being picked up on the street like Joshua Wong on Suspicion of illegal gathering. Extradited to China? This is real. Even as a western pilot, (with Perm HK ID) I am out buying mtr tickets, food, and putting in hours behind the scene to help. China will lose this battle.. They may win the war, I'm not that arrogant, but we will win this battle. |

But having said that, thanks very much for your contributions. |
Aside from learning I was insane, you guys were of no use. I wasn't looking for a diagnosis of me, rather wanted to see what might happen with aviation in HK. Cheers.

This guy said it better than I can:
"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." |

Wasn't a precedent recently set that if you're arrested, even though not yet found innocent or guity, your employment will be terminated?
|
No, this comes under the "one set of rules for me, another set of rules for you" clause of COS. Surely you are aware of that?

Naw, he bent so far over even before this started I'd be surprised if he'll ever stand erect again... Just like Merlin now !! |
