Why has she moved on? And who is her replacement?

I trust it is someone as responsive as her. I was impressed with the speed at which she changed SOPs after my complaint at a Diamond lunch where I commented that having cabin crew come round with a handwritten "15% off duty free" sign on the back of a piece of cardboard really cheapens the CX brand. She said "That's a very good point" and swiftly jotted down a note. By the following week, cabin crew were handing out those little flyers instead of using those pathetic handwritten signs.

I wondered where those daft signs had gone.

Next time bring up the million different announcements the crew make about the 15% off duty free

I was stunned when I saw that cardboard yesterday. It's my first time seeing it and I'm not liking it. They even stick some cosmetic and watch boxes to the board.

Really?! They've regressed to doing that again?! You should put in a complaint.

Yes, sadly Linda left last week. Off to do new things.
I haven't seen any announcement from Cathay about who her replacement is going to be, so I'm not sure if it means that it was a surprise to everyone or that they won't be replacing Linda. I imagine they will want to find a replacement though.

Maybe she saw the writing on the wall with the prospect of MPC changes?

Does anyone know the name of Linda's replacement? He spoke at the CX Xmas drinks last week.

Could be... I saw a name similar to this at the end of a recent joint promotion email with ___ (forgot, how ineffective it is)

But... Does this matter? I think they don't care about anything other than HK based DMP and outport DM...
