Cathay Pacific ‘to axe 6,000 staff and Dragon brand’ in bid to stay afloat
 

Cuts, which sources say will be announced on Wednesday, are a quarter less than expected and smaller than the industry average

About 5,000 employees in Hong Kong could be let go, with future lay-offs possible if pandemic not brought under control

Looks like Danny has been speaking to pilots again... let’s just see if this one comes true.

Yes dragonair will be axed.

If nothing else Destiny78 you can rest assured that after some years in the industry I have been exposed to some real wa$kers. Congratulations you have taken the Gold medal 🥇

He might be Danny boy.

Well said couldn't agree mors

good call bro...

Hmm... New name: Cathay Dragon Pacific

Dragon “brand” to go . Thats all . Pilots will be retained , but no idea how cx will integrate them into the mainline operations. I think it will happen.

So 500+ more pilots for CX to offer the sign or be fired PoS18 to... Lovely! Can’t wait for the morale to hit rock bottom. You think working at CX/KA sucked before, just wait for this... JCP/JCR squeezing every last penny out of a horrible contract. How many will leave? How many will stay under absolutely miserable conditions in the new CCP’s Hong Kong? 🤮 🤮 🤮

No one will leave yet.
Everyone will stay.
It's a pretty grim situation out there's not sure if you know anyone working for other airlines.
When the world gets better and airlines pickup, people will re-evaluate. But CX will most definitely never be short of staff.

Everyone who can, because they need to put bread on the table. There are plenty who can't out there at the moment.

Announcement already on the hub. Cathay Dragon to close

au contraire, a Dragon rebrand is probs a positive commercial decision given the very active antipathy directed towards the airline on the Mainland.

Well, if everyone stays, then redundancies are inevitable. CX definitely will not need 3800 pilots for quite some time. So everyone stays and gets the minimum payout from PoS18? Nice, time for wifey to get a job! Maybe the kids too, which works out since schools won’t be affordable. Helper goes home to Manila, and her family starves to death. Thank you China!

Are the redundancies following LIFO?

since everybody will be signing cos18 I don’t see why not. Imagine that’s the reason it has been done the way it has.

​​​​​​​yes.
however how many B scalers will leave??

Of course, the question is how many?
