Cathay Pacific says it could fire staff who support Hong Kong protests
Hong Kong (CNN Business) - Cathay Pacific on Monday warned its staff that those who "support or participate in illegal protests" in Hong Kong could be fired. (www.cnn.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
This is a double edged sword. If you don't comply with China, then you face who knows what kind of consequences from them, but if you do then you look terrible and likely will face some nasty PR that could do major damage to the company.
It's good they're showing they hate liberty. Those informed can elect to never fly their airline again.
The issue is that Cathay Pacific has many flights to mainland China and even if they wanted to protect their staff, China border will block entry for those who participated in the protests in HK and will screen everyone. In order to continue flying, they had no choice but to comply with China rules. It's a really shitty situation and I doubt Cathay can afford to lose the China market for a question of liberty of expression.
With the apparent exceptions of the UK and United States, who are acting horrified, everyone knew this sort of thing would happen after Hong Kong reverted to Chinese possession.
well then the whole world should take note and never fly Cathay Pacific again is you believe in liberty. The only thing that should be illegal is for Cathay Pacific being able to enter US air space
Cathay, I will pay extra to never fly on you. I bet that the 2 million+ Hong Kong protesters feel the same way.
The world is watching Cathay. You could have supported the employees by "investigating". Plenty of legal Patriots willing to fly your equipment over this hump. I be glad to help you myself. Paychecks can miss the joy of you've lost your passion. Might be time for NEW management.
