if either of these airlines status matched CX, i think CX would be done.
IF you have CX DM, and SQ flights upcoming, an SQ status match can be requested. I did and received it.

The company does not even promote or hire based on competence anymore its all bases on race and gender.
frankly they deserve to fail and go bankrupt.
Instead of hiring staff to run a shop in a mall , hire staff to serve your planes and customers!!!
This has nothing to do with China or any other racist ideas on here by some.
it has everything to do with Swire having lost its mind.
Do we want to blame CX for that, or should we consider this the consequence of the Chinazation of Hong Kong?
I did write many times about this, some posts got removed due to being considered "inappropriate", though that does not change the reality of the (harsh political) environment CX is operating in.

As said, it's not only about capabilities but also about the environment to operate in. The moment you have a big outstanding debt from the government, all kinds of government officials want to enforce their personal preferences, which may seriously deviate from wise business decisions. There are reasons why LH (and other airlines) did want to get rid of the government Covid loans asap. For CX that'll be much more difficult due to A) the size of the debt and B) the political landscape, where it is considered completely normal for governments to "run" a business without the knowledge, and capabilities, though with conflicting interests (to put it mildly).
