On Friday's Backchat, the future of Cathay Pacific, and immigration ordinance. Hong Kong’s flag carrier, Cathay Pacific, is offering its local-based pilots and cabin crew vol-untary redundancy, as part of efforts to further slash costs to stay afloat amid the ongoing pandemic.
In an internal memo sent to staff on Wednesday, the struggling carrier said despite mass vac-cinations and travel bubbles being formed, the pace of recovery is still highly unpredictable as the prospect of resuming international travel remains clouded in uncertainties.
What'll be the future for Cathay Pacific? Should Government support continue? What will happen to pilots and other staff? Will the aviation industry ever be what it was?

From 9:15am-9:30am, we'll be discussing the controversy over an immigration bill.
