Aircrew still have to test & hold in midfield terminal after every flight before they can leave. They also have to do PCRs for 4 consecutive days after getting back. Because of this and how they are rostered, many of them have to spend time and travel money on testing EVERY SINGLE DAY they are in HK.
All this just to get a fkn sacred blue code.

Current arrival stats... Imagine 500K people trying to arrive, while all reports suggest it will take CX over a year to get back into the business of flying people around.
There is room for improvement ... but no room or capacity for 500K arrivals for well over a year or two.
Not ready to give up 100% ... not today.
