Can anyone honestly blame them ?
Whatever your answer best get used to masks on all Asian airlines because they are going to be with us for a long time yet I suspect
And no crew at all on my recent Emirates, Tap, Ryanair, & KLM flights wore masks (including several Korean and HK crew on Emirates).
For me it's just another reason to move on from CX and similar. If I'm paying hard-earned cash for an F flight to Europe then a key part of that is the service. Service is severely degraded when you have to keep asking people to repeat stuff and you can read facial expressions.
How's that going to work in an emergency? If the first line of CX's emergency drill for cabin crew isn't "Take the f**king mask off so that people will understand you clearly" then someone needs to get them rewritten PDQ.
