    Me thinks most of us had better things to do. Wish things could be automated like stock markets.

    Not sure about employees, but shareholders certainly got penalized.

    I'd say the two are linked . I bet there are a few vocal shareholders who want those responsible's heads on a stake ha ha ha

    Do we know how many of these tickets were sold?

    Any possibility it was just a Cathay Pacific publicity stunt?

    I picked up 4 First Class tickets to JFK so its not a fake publicity stunt. I also know tons of folks in a travel group I admin who picked up a few tickets each. I am quite surprised Cathay actually honored this deal.
