So cabin crew at BA are going on strike. What is CX going to do with those who have through bookings from LHR to Europe/UK on BA?? Will CX put those people onto another airline or abandon them in LHR to the perils of BA?
Finnair anyone? CX depends too much on BA as a feeder airline/codeshare partner, they should really take into consideration cooperating with Malev, Iberia or Finnair.

According to the Civil Aviation Authority, average costs of BA crew are twice those of their Virgin Atlantic counterparts.
Wow, I have to agree with his points, especially on pay. HK$27000/month (after exchanged back to HKD, per month), is not small, infact CX junior crew get paid around HK$11000/month (though cost of living in UK is higher).
