As the pandemic spread, hammering global airlines, Cathay secured a bailout from Hong Kong's government. Many pilots kept their jobs but had to sign new contracts cutting their pay by as much as half.Last month FedEx began relocating Hong Kong pilots to California because of the quarantine rules. British Airways also temporarily suspended flights after some crew were placed in government isolation.
Hong Kong's Transport Department did not respond to a request for comment on whether the city's business reputation was at risk. "There will be an increased draw, given the current environment in Hong Kong versus what is perceived overseas to be an opportunity for some," he said.In a statement, Cathay Pacific said it had to abide by Hong Kong's regulations.
Any pilot who feels unfit to fly can decline to work"without jeopardy and is legally protected", the carrier added.
