- Harsh decision awfully executed.
- Fully understand BA "fans" inhabit this board, but sadly CX comprehensively slaughter BA on the route.
- All isn't well seemingly with CX Pilots and new contracts, clearly HKG isn't the cash-cow for anybody it once was.
- Buying BA tickets via "EUPOAIR" years ago and flying BA with Chinese Crew and limitless free-noodles(!), you got the impression BA had got the cross-cultural thing brilliantly. Things have moved on, the whole industry is far more brutal now.
- I also flew HKG to MNL and TPE with BA, perhaps in a financial sense it would of made sense to close the local base 15+ years ago when these routes were closed?
- I wouldn't be surprised if BA's 2 per day becomes 1 or even codesharing with CX happens going forward.
- I've just donated to the collection, You Should Too!!
