Behind the Scenes: Troubled Cathay Pacific Flight

[@SamChui]

I'm from HK originally and quite proud to see Cathay's operation as it shows integrity, discipline and efficiency. With some hard work and luck, In less than 2 hours. We’re off to Paris on another plane. Not every airline can do!

[@vnse725]

Indeed! As a Hong Konger, very proud to see Cathay bounces back so quickly after it was hit particularly hard by the pandemic!

[@A2KLAU]

It just highlights even more how hard you guys work to look after your passengers 🙏 even in the face of adversity everyone just did what they needed to do.

It is definite the best "behind the scene" for Cathay, and even the best one along all airlines around the world I have ever watched.

[@Hawktotalwar]

Big appreciation for those cabin crew and ground crew to handle the unexpected situations in switching planes. The way they tackled the problem was really efficient, thanks sam for sharing.

[@jasonbernard1277]

That’s never ideal, but super impressed with their crew’s professionalism and efficiency. Just got on with it and got the job done 👏

[@christopheryim6618]

[@hubertl75]

I have watched many, many airline vlogs and this is one of the best. It was quite refreshing to see a new approach showcasing the internal operations of a long-haul flight and on top of that, you documented the change of aircraft very well. Thanks Sam!!!! More of this!!!!

[@Brian_L_5168]

Cathay CEO should see this video about short-staffing issue that Sam & other passengers bring up. Employees are the most valuable asset to make Cathay shine in this competitive business !

[@clchat]

The CEO did mentioned in annual result release (or interim result release) that some flights will have additional crew member from this year.

[@vnse725]

They are hiring rigorously this year......including new places that didn't have Cathay crew before e.g. Vietnam

[@ht2001jeff]

I believe Hong Kong had been changed, the spirit never die ~

[@yo2trader539]

Management obviously knows because they're the folks who made the decision to reduce staff count. The impact of HK's lockdown was so enormous, Cathay had to be bailed out by public funds. They had no choice but to cut costs in every possible way just to survive, which is why Cathay eliminated 8,500 jobs or around 24% of its workforce in 2020, and number of pilots were reduced to half of 2019 levels. Many of them are now working in other airlines or sectors, and it will take years to recruit, train, and rebuild competent staff.

[@nagasako7]

Cathway Crews will be poached if nothing is done. They might as well get paid more elsewhere.

[@enjoypladecorrals]

a blessing in disguise for Cathay: you notice a quality airline in times like this. Bad airline means huge delays or cancelled flight. I had to go home once to come back the next day cause my Delta plane broke down in Ams. Other times it took me 5 hours to change planes. You're always lucky if your plane has an issue at the home airport. Thank you Sam for showing care for the Cathay staff, they suffered during pandemic like nobody else because of the quarantine requirements of HK.

[@cassandratq9301]

Quarantine was smart move to keep crew healthy.

[@robertmarton8858]

Big round of applause to flight crew and ground staff for saving this flight. Midnight early hours a tough time to manage what they did in these circumstances. I hope the CX management recognize this group and also understand the importance on these folks. Respect. Thanks Sam for the video which shows CX crew is such a good light. 13 in a 4 class 777 a bit of a joke.

[@royskidubai]

Impressive performance of CX crew in addressing the technical issue with the aircraft! Nice to see cabin crew with diverse nationalities (headed by a Filipino ISM - great job) who handled the passengers with great service! Awesome job Sam in documenting this flight! Kudos!

[@juanito1195]

The lady who greeted you with the ISM and David and who was covering First Class ! Her happiness and energy was wonderful and made me smile 😃

[@wowpeter]

Her happy attitude is infectious and it definitely helps keep the mood upbeat despite the delay and aircraft change. Crew like that is hard to find nowadays and they should be the most valuable asset to any company.

[@jcnbw01]

as a filmmaker/creator this must've been like striking gold - you get to document the inner workings during a non-standard event! so much insight and perspective captured here; good job 👍

[@melpol1338]

Both ISM （ Inflight service manager) and SP (Senior Purser) featured were Filipinas! That’s the last thing we’d like to happen..change of aircraft, but for safety’s sake, it has to be done..2x the effort . Thanks for showing how the crew work so hard . I am leaving CX after 34 yrs and 5 mos of dedicated work as an FA, we only wanted a safe and happy flight all the time 😊. Hope more pax will appreciate the crew from all airlines.

[@djbuckeye1417]

I have flown Cathay Pacific once and was very impressed with the flight. While it's unfortunate that the passengers on this flight had to switch planes, but it was good to see how Cathay Pacific handled this situation! Sam, I'm sure Cathay Pacific didn't want your subscribers to see their hydraulic issue, but I think it was actually a blessing because you showed how well their crew transitioned from one plane to another and in such a really short turnaround time. Of course, seeing the "dahn taht" and the "jook" served on this flight must have been a nice treat for the passengers! Keep up the great work, Sam!

[@wowpeter]

I think a lot of the times what set Cathay apart to a lot of other airlines is when service disruption happens, CX generally are very good at service recovery and tends to have very robust procedures to handle these kind of events, and also the ground staff and the crew always show the can-do spirit in situation like this and they just get on with it and get the job done! Whereas, this type of event at other airline is usually when their service tends to fall apart. So well done to CX on the quick recovery.

[@TessaHyland]

Sam sends these video drafts to Cathay Pacific so that they can give their ok. If they weren’t okay with it, he wouldn’t have been able to post it

[@jmikhael5200]

@ReeM-wz7bs Exactly , The front desk officers are the front line ones who face different kind of passengers with their different kind of attitudes , and for this they ought to be not only well trained ( I guess they have behavioural science course training ) but also need to be having enough experience to be able to manage the difficult situations .

Hi! Sam. Thank You for sharing this lovely video. CX crews on the ground and onboard did a remarkable job at such high speed to minimize passengers discomfort at this early hours of the morning. The Captain and flight attendants deserved a pat on their back. Kudos! .

[@TessaHyland]

The captain is my dad, I’ll let him know what you’ve said!

[@georgeolwena5530]

The changeover was absolutely efficient. This is because there is always panic as soon as such an incident happens as I have witnessed with other airlines. But this crew did not panic at all. They took their duties diligently and worked hard without any panic. Thank you Sam and well done Cathay Pacific crew. Well done again.

[@mcc271]

This is a great video to show to passengers that no matter you're in Economy, PE, Business or First Class whatsoever, there are a lot of people, a professional crew behind the scene preparing everything for you. When anything happened like changing an aircraft reluctantly, passengers only need to walk out the plane and wait for another boarding, the crew has so much more to do. So, try not to be demanding and grateful for what all is well-prepared for passengers. Here, Salute to all the CX crew members, although it's still not as easy as people think recovering from the pandemic, you did a great job really!

[@davidcole333]

Absolutely first-rate work by Cathay. What an incredible opportunity to see everything that is required for an aircraft change. That crew must have been exhausted.

@@lcfflc3887 There are still plenty of people in Hong Kong who still Wear mask on a daily Basis.

[@highlandersixtysix]

There is absolutely no substitute for quality in personnel and organisation. Cathy have come under some criticism for their lack of crew numbers, but they were in considerable financial difficulty post-Covid; I'm sure that there's a program to return to the appropriate numbers, but this video just exemplifies what training, and having the right people selected, does for the business and passenger experience. Well done Cathy, one of the finest legacy carriers in the skies - this is a crew that you'd happily fly with any day.

[@skaxman99]

Despite the challenges, the Cathy crew and operations were so resilient and professional in dealing with it. Well done Cathy.

[@albertpagunsan96]

I noticed in my Cathay Pacific flights there were some senior flight attendants who seem to be Filipino. and this video confirms that there are FAs from the Philippines. I love this. Thank you Sam.

[@remuel1]

There is a lot of them, not only in CX, Qatar airways also has a lot of filipina pursers, so proud of them ❤❤

[@artesotericlimited8131]

The last time Cathay Pacific hired in Manila and Cebu was probably 1997, then CX stopped. After Hong Kongs handover to China that year, they needed to shift hiring policies to accommodate the large mainland workforce. So most of the remaining Filipina crew members hold very senior positions like ISM and SP. Around 2010 they hired tagalog speakers but USA passport holders to fly USA, Canada to HKG flights. CX still hires Thai, Korean, Indian , Malaysian crew members. As for the Philippines they have stopped, unfortunately.

[@balisaani]

What a great and fortuitous overview of Cathay's flight operations - including the mechanical issue, which allowed CX to showcase their agility and resolve in dealing with it, and transferring everyone from one 777 to another. Out of crisis: opportunity. Well done Cathay, well done Sam in showcasing them, and stressing the importance of properly staffing cabin crew, or face burn out. Long live Cathay!

[@max08957]

I’m from Taiwan, I like to take CX for my first priority flight to destinations. Even we have so many direct flights to somewhere from Taiwan, but I still like take CX. I saw this video and feeling this is very trustable airline. I like it so much, thank you Sam to let me more like it 👍

In about 1983 I took a CX flight to Sydney. Just before pushback, it seems that a catering truck ran into the no.4 engine. We swapped aircraft. From memory (not reliable) we had a delay of about 4 hours as we swapped aircraft. It seems that CX has well trained its crew for this sort of contingency. Better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air, and not in the air wishing you were on the ground.

Last minute airplane change can be an operational nightmare because so many moving parts have to be taken care of and this involves several departments. Network control center, Flight operations, Engineering, Catering, Air Traffic Control, Airport Operations, etc. It can be more difficult when the flight has special needs passengers like PRM and the sickly. Hats off to CX for pulling this off within 2 hours and nice to see everybody in good spirits at the end of this flight.

I do not think CCP China care about that now a days since they took over after 1997. You might have an idea how they buy stocks and property ownership in different key Institutions everywhere, don't you? . The staff esp. the seniors/ old senior managers had been in so many kinds of strains after 1997 and yet have kept the old system under Hong kong and British collabs and other nationalities that had established the 5 star luxury label then
