someone here will say it is fake news lah. He say there is no shortage of pilots at CX. And many ex-pilots have returned.

I am a regular of CX in C and must say that they are so price competitive compared with QR (my preferred airline in terms of onboard service) that I end of taking CX all the time. The fact that they have the BRU-HKG four times a week is also a big incentive for me, so I can connect to everywhere in Asia very easily, doing the transfer in a reasonably easy airport (HKG) with excellent lounges. I am just annoyed with the security lines in HKG in the morning but that's about it. I saw, years ago, CX's downhill but I can see how they are catching up without becoming QR but achieving very reasonable levels of service. Granted, I am OWE, so I get immediately identified by the crew, get first selecting meal and when I ask them for something, I get it right away. Yes, this week they ran out of champagne in the AKL-HKG and me and the other-half moved to the Chablis :). First world problems. As long as they continue offering these prices from Brussels, I will do the bear minimum with QR to maintain Platinum but that's it. Fingers crossed that they do not cancel BRU as they did during covid.
