The new crown pneumonia epidemic is raging, the aviation industry is shut down, and Cathay Dragon Airlines has previously abandoned its application for the second phase of the employment guarantee plan, which is questioned to pave the way for major layoffs.

It is reported that Cathay Pacific plans to lay off all Dragonair employees. Liang Peiyun, vice chairman of Dragonair's Air Crew Association, said today (20th) that the mainstream opinion of colleagues hopes that "no one can be missing" and is willing to offer salary and benefits in exchange for reserved positions.

The trade union also emphasized that Dragonair has value and hopes that the management will understand.

Liang Peiyun said on the commercial TV program "Starting on a Sunny Day" that in the past, news of layoffs had been circulating, but the information was not confirmed. The management only replied that there was information before replying, and all colleagues were worried.

Liang said that he has collected the opinions of his colleagues, and most of them hope that "no one is missing." Colleagues are willing to offer wages or benefits in exchange for reserved positions.

The union has clearly expressed its opinions to the management, but the management only stated that it received the comments and did not respond specifically.

It is rumored that Cathay Pacific will lay off all Dragonair employees. Liang said that the rumors cannot be trusted. He emphasized that Dragonair has extensive experience in inland routes and short-distance routes. Dragonair has its own value and hopes to discuss restructuring plans with the company. There is room for discussion, we are willing to study, but Yijia stopped talking."
