With 26,000 employees in Hong Kong, Cathay initially took a neutral stance as protests engulfed the city. The airline would not dream of telling its employees what to think, its chairman proclaimed. His defiance withered, though, as criticism from China mounted. When the Chinese aviation authority, absurdly, accused the airline of imperilling safety because its employees had joined the protests, Cathay dumped its chief executive. A climate of fear now pervades it. Chinese inspectors have started screening the phones of Cathay crew for anti-Beijing material.

Også verdt å merke seg at Kinserne ville ha en liste fra Cathay over ansatte som enten la ut støtte på instagram til protestene eller deltok i protestene selv. Dette skal visst ha vært hovedgrunnen til at sjefen i CX trakk seg. Følger et par piloter fra CX på instagram og de har alle tatt vekk bilder som de la ut for en stund tilbake.
