Thumbs up Ground Jobs HK

Hi All,
I wonder if you in the know can tell me, given the recent layoff's in the aviation world lately, does this mean its going to near impossible to get a ground job with a major player? To be specific, I am looking to get into Cathay office in HK, and wondered, if like the banks, they have an employment freeze?

Many thanks in advance!

It depends what you mean by ground staff. I don't work for Cathay (I fly for another outfit. This is my son's account), but I have a friend there who said that they are putting hiring on hold for most flying positions, pilots and FA (inc ground check-in staff) alike. But if you are looking for a position such as Engineering, IT or management, it could be a different situation. He also mentioned the company expects things to better and plans to resume hiring in early 2009.

Could someone who works for Cathay elaborate, please?
