Rally Held Condeming Cathay Pacfic Staff Dismissals

Hundreds of Hongkongers gathered in the city’s central financial district on Aug. 28 to protest Cathay Pacific Airways bowing to Beijing pressure by dismissing crew for participating or supporting demonstrations against the communist regime’s encroachment. The city’s flag carrier sacked 20 pilots and cabin crew since China’s aviation regulator earlier this month demanded it suspend staff from flying over its airspace if they were involved in, or supported, the protests.
