I think people should understand the reality in Hong Kong. CX does not only run a lot of routes towards the mainland, but a vast majority of west bound flights including those to the EU pass through mainland air space. CX cannot afford to lose any of these, and that’s why it has to “compromise” under enormous pressure.

Therefore, if anyone is in different view than the mastermind behind all these “pressure”, he should really support CX IMHO. Otherwise if CX collapse, it’s clear who will be running the airline business.
