Cathay Pacific Hiring Flight Attendants From Mainland China

A couple of months ago, Cathay Pacific revealed that it would start hiring flight attendants from mainland China, and would provide all flight attendants with ”culture training” on dealing with passengers from mainland China. We’ve now seen the airline start this process, so I think it’s interesting to cover what that looks like.

Cathay is now hiring cheap crew members from China. They've also established crew bases in Beijing and Shanghai (international bases closed due to COVID are not returning). This demonstrates Cathay's shift in branding and values, as its international identity erodes and transforms slowly (and quietly) into a Chinese airline.

Now based on this comment, we can see those who hates the CCP are in fact hater of the Chinese people. Nice one whoever uses that defense to hate ccp only but not chinese people. Haha they’re uneducated bastard right? They produce the most college graduates and doctorates. God i love to see some of the ignorant white people get schooled by sophisticated chinese.

Horrible decision! Too terrible to be true hiring Mainlander crews, low educated without understanding of Chinese and Western etiquette in international way. Majority of Mainlanders are not educated much. They love to create conflicts with others. If CX really wants to have their crews speaking good mandarin then please recruit crews from Taiwan, at least they are much better in servicing. CX is just getting cheap to hire those mainlander crews!

Yeah. Chinese people aren’t sophisticated uncivilized bastard right? This is to those who says westerner hates CCP and not Chinese people. That’s a myth. Just look at this tone deaf comment. Why is western etiquette associated with sophistication and the ROW aren’t? These type will only respect you asians if you aren’t from mainland and bow down to the west. Sick.

Yes, John. They will advertise in advance where the FA are from, as well as height, weight, age and interest in people called John. Talk about poor education.

Cathay: hiring mainland FAs probably to work mainland routes and assuage mainland customer anxieties, an obvious customer-first business decision given recent controversies and the customer base OMAAT commenters: The end of HK! Communism! Going down the tubes! Really? These all sound completely ridiculous
