|| Cathay Pacific strike avoided ||

After days and hours of back-and-fourth negotiating, Cathay Pacific (CX) and its crew have agreed on amendments to the terms of employment that attendants were threatening to strike over.

About a week ago, the Flight Attendants Union voiced concern over pay, back-to-back shifts and a dilution of Hong Kong attendants on flights (see here), threatening industrial action if these were not changed.

Such action would have disrupted services at a very busy time of year, and affected many passengers. The threat forced CX to prepare contingency plans (see here).

But today the carrier announced that the disagreement has been resolved, and services will continue as normal.
