Hence why they've lost 40% of their pilots and still have 50% of their 777 fleet parked in central Australia.

I'm shocked they've only lost 40%.

Why not 90% with how bad its gotten combine with most other major airlines still hiring (albiet less than last year)?

Where are the guys with HK Passports and British citizenship gonna go for work? Truth is even with a 50% paycut you're still making top 0.1% money in a metropolis with one of the highest QoLs in the world, especially if you're local.

CP is hosting pilot roadshows in the USA. Curious, since it's been awhile:

1) I assume they require you to live in HK? No commuting schedules? They're not reopening US pilot bases?
2) Any sense of FO comp?
3) Any current CP pilots care to chime in and give a recent update?

Thanks.
