They have not spent thousands to tens of thousands of dollars obtaining licenses, thousands of hours practicing their profession to improve their skills and hundreds of thousands of hours away from home all in the pursuit of the highest level and highest paying jobs in aviation.

As I’ve said before, this is not HK’s 1970s-80s airline anymore. It’s the same corporate culture as all other big US airlines; Management vs workers. Go put your Nuts book in the attic and forget about it.
