Pilots Aiding Their Forcibly-Quarantined Comrades During "Oppressive" Hong Kong Lockdowns
Cathay Pacific pilots have been recognized by the IFALPA for their support of fellow Hong Kong-based employees subjected to forced, government run, mandatory quarantine upon entry into the country. The natural conditions of work for airline crew have resulted in a near perennial isolation, with a number of pilots and their families included due to their close proximity. IFALPA brought attention to the support rendered by the Cathay employee family, saying they “provided countless care packages, food, essential appliances, and other necessities to their quarantining colleagues.”
