“If there is no news, then report weather,

Good luck with that. "Low cost" and "network carrier" are two terms that don't fit together very well. Long haul low cost is the problem more than anything. Southwest is a perfect example of a successful low cost network carrier. Many LCC sell connecting tickets which makes them...

Jump to postSure, you could hire experienced crew directly to replace them, but you’d have to offer a package significantly better than available elsewhere (HK isn’t what it used to be.)
