Just a thought...

Cathay's equipment will likely end up in garage sales.

Maybe they can blow up some 77Ws at the end of 25R to earn YouTube revenue:

It would be really nice for somebody from Cathay Pacific PR to make some sort of statement here. This is a dire subject I dare say their marketing department wont be taking any comfort from reading or having perpetuated. They need to address this one way or another; if not for simple respect to some of their most loyal customers on this forum.

And what can they say? “We don’t know how long these measures will stay in place, or even get worse?”

Maybe:
  • "Predictions are difficult. Especially about the future."
  • "Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first."

They'd have to be extremely careful about what they said... there is a very thin line to be tread in HK these days with what is said.

They can't even guarantee CX existence through next Christmas

If I owned a business and read in one of the worlds most prominent FF forums that my loyal customers were contemplating "jumping ship" I'd think I'd say something. As to what the content may be is probably not as important as acknowledgement and reassurance. Confidence levels in CX are clearly at an all time low and heading south as each day passes.....scroll up!

Agree. After all if they are not careful, the directors could be arrested because of NSL.

Whatever they said ought to be true. So would you like to suggest something that CX could in theory say at the present time that would simultaneously be both accurate and reassuring?
