Since the COVID crisis, airlines and unions have been at loggerheads as huge cuts are made and working terms are reduced.
But the situation at Cathay Pacific seems particularly toxic, with reports of ultimatums and 60 per cent salary cuts. In this week’s Inside Aviation, Phil and Adam discuss the fallout, and what it means for the airline.
They also discuss a precarious situation within the industry as a whole. The IATA says aviation’s recovery has “hit a wall”, but why?
Finally, the team chats about the situation closer to home. Could flights from Tasmania to New Zealand be a gamechanger?
