I agree that through no fault of its own Cathay needed to employ (and reemploy) a large number of c.crew very quickly -and is still doing so as it continues to expand the schedule .
It takes, I am told at least 16 weeks to properly train a junior cabin crew member and of course the airline only has just so many qualified trainers thus some parts of the training needed to be 'on the job' which is not of course desirable.
Many have commented in the past few months that the c. crew service has been very good but clearly it is still a 'work in progress' particularly sometimes in economy class.
Not good but improving fast
