Has CX resumed Apple Daily newspaper service after the alleged scandal?
 

Just curious, according to Apple Daily, they have suspended Apple Daily newspaper service for at least two days, and some other newspapers who had published photos of the cockpit sex scandal too. So has the newspaper service back to normal today? Looks like today's Apple Daily doesn't have an article on it anymore.

And for those who took CX flights yesterday, what kind of newspapers were onboard? What's left there given most HK newspapers have reported the cockpit sex scandal yesterday? :confused:

Note: Please try to keep this on topic.

Although Apple Daily does have a follow up article claiming the alleged FA has resigned today, it didn't mention whether CX has continued to suspend Apple Daily newspaper service. They did mention it in the last two follow up articles, just not this one. So my guess is they might have resumed it yesterday as there were no follow up article on yesterday's Apple Daily but probably will suspend it again today due to the report.

So anyone have been on a CX flight after the scandal can give more info on the newspaper service?

Does anyone really care if Apple Daily is on CX flights?

Guy....you must not work in HK. My HK-based colleagues are addicted to that paper.

It sounds similar to The Sun or (ex-)News of the World in the UK?

It's one of the best selling newspapers in HK. A LOT of people read that. I even subscribes it so I can read it when I moved abroad. Personally I will be disappointed if that's not served. Not to mention CX isn't just suspending Apple Daily, they have suspended other newspapers who have published the alleged cockpit sex scandal pictures. When I go on a trip and haven't read the papers for a couple of days, reading them onboard is a nice and easy way to catch up with what have happened in HK while I was gone.

And apparently some people can get very upset if no newspapers are served. Just look at how this CNN writer whines about JAL not serving newspapers on domestic class-J (which is their domestic version of premium economy class)

So some people, including myself, do care about newspaper service onboard :)

Count me as one of those who are addicted to that paper :)

Maybe if its in english ?? :p

I can't read Chinese very well.. but I'll look at the pictures though ! ;)

i, for one, do not.
anyway, i'm more interested in knowing whether or not the total number of newspaper on board is the same. (who cares if the loud person who would comment on every piece of useless news do not have apple daily...)

I know that their animations/ videos are very hit among HKers, check it out if you guys want: http://www.youtube.com/user/appleactionews

I also know of many people who don't speak a word of Cantonese and can't understand anything but still check out the animations just for laughs. The ones regarding Tiger Wood were a big hit in the US I believe.

Also, perhaps a better reputation of Apple Daily is its fearlessness in reporting scandals and news regarding large corporations or China, as it doesn't bow to pressure from either.

This +100000. It is also becoming a growing addiction in Taiwan too.

also because how they exagerate things to the likes of most readers...

I am interested in that too but so far we don't have anyone who flew recently have and willing to provide that info

Was on my DPS - HKG flight on Monday.

did it have a photo of the relevant 'joystick' ?
