Business Outlook
Pros
People really are important at Cathay, top management makes that very clear. Cathay is a big company with more than 20,000 employees but feels like a family. Senior management and the major shareholder, Swire, have a very long term perspective and do not manage to the next quarter, they look 5-10 years out at a minimum.
Cons
Cathay is an airline, oil price volatility hits it hard. People do not work at Cathay to get rich, but they stay because of the supportive, friendly environment.
