Cathay Pacific withdraws the closed-loop trade union of the air service station to reduce the number of nucleic acid testing days: I hope everyone can live a normal life

The government adjusted the quarantine arrangements for crew members from yesterday (4th), and Cathay Pacific sent an internal email to employees, announcing that from the early morning of the same day, the requirement that crew members need to undergo closed-loop isolation when they travel to other places will be lifted.

However, in addition to eating and drinking, when staying in other places, you need to avoid removing masks, going to bars and pubs, and participating in large gatherings.

In addition, passengers who have stayed at an outer station must also be "tested pending" at the airport when they arrive in Hong Kong. Whether they are coming and going on the same day or staying at an outer station, the crew members need to undergo nucleic acid testing on the 1st to 4th days after returning to Hong Kong. On the 3rd, a quick test is required at the same time.

Siu Wing-yan, vice-chairman of foreign affairs of the Cathay Pacific Air Service Staff Union, said in a radio program today (5th) that the government and Cathay Pacific are welcome to arrange arrangements, and colleagues are willing to cooperate with relevant measures. I hope it can be relaxed again: "Gradually return to normal." However, she believes that it is inconvenient for employees to undergo nucleic acid testing for 4 consecutive days, so she hopes to reduce the number of nucleic acid testing days, "do one or two days less, I hope everyone can live a normal life."

Xiao Yongen said that the crew members must abide by certain conditions during their stay at the outstation, including wearing masks at all times in addition to eating and drinking, and avoiding participating in large gatherings or going to bars and other crowded places. The time is not long, usually "going to the supermarket to buy a little food, go to eat dinner", and many colleagues have no accident at all, just like herself: "𠵱At least I have the option to go out to breathe and scare, stationed outside the station. Sometimes it’s because of the mentality that I want to go out to be frightened, but it’s not because I have to buy a bar, it’s just about breathing and frightening.”

As for whether Cathay Pacific has a policy of checking whether employees comply with the relevant conditions?

Xiao Yongen said that Cathay Pacific has not announced the details of punishment for employee violations for the time being. It only refers to taking action if violations are violated.

She pointed out that there were precedents for employees to violate the rules in the past, and she believed that colleagues would abide by the arrangements.

Xiao Yongen said that after returning to Hong Kong, receiving nucleic acid testing for 4 consecutive days and rapid testing for 3 days will definitely bring inconvenience to life. She hopes to reduce the number of nucleic acid testing days. Listen to colleagues' opinions and report requirements to the company.

As for the crew members from the outstations arriving in Hong Kong, they still need to do "testing and waiting." She hopes that the government will cancel the measures as soon as possible, because some employees take long-distance flights, and if they arrive in Hong Kong, they will have to wait 2 to 3 hours before going home to rest. "It's hard work. ".

Is the removal of closed-loop quarantine regulations for crew members attractive for recruiting?

She believes that the most important thing in recruiting is salary and benefits, but after Cathay Pacific laid off staff, the salaries of current colleagues were reduced by 30%. The adjustment will only continue to have losses, and it may be that the supply will not be available when you return (after the flight is resumed)." In the future peak season of Christmas, Cathay Pacific may have a shortage of manpower.

Cathay Pacific has withdrawn the closed-loop crew from the air service station and returned to Hong Kong without the yellow code. The first 3 days must be double-tested plus 1 day of nucleic acid. Cathay Pacific will hire 4,000 more people. Add 400 flights from October to December Cathay Pacific will add 400 flights next month Rediscovering the fun of traveling the world in Eli | Wendona
