I worked on both CUPID and CUPAC back in the 80/90’s for CX
@@wokeupandsmellthecoffee214 Wow! from which city you worked before? I used to work at MNLKKCX/MNLKKKA, 12 years ago. It's fun and sometimes there's a pressure (hehehe! it’s part of our daily duty)😊.
This is so nostalgic
when cathay pacific were great
I agree! I stopped flying them… the modern HK flight attendant are rude.
Doesn’t matter what class you fly, service is poor.
Etihad or Emirates for me now… Stay 2 nights in lay over win win! And business is cheaper
....when Hong Kong was great!
@@marco168888 never had a problem with their service, shame that you've had it though...
When Cathay was run be HKers and the British. Not some gutted out mainland cash cow/asset stripping it’s become
2:03 I can't imagine doing that job sans headset.
oh wow, Class J, who ever is checking in is REALLY rich back then.
I was proud of Cathay as a Hongkonger, now the company's best bet is to merge with another lead airline in Asia, Thai for instance.
Thai it's a dead end because Thai when merging will pull to the bottom with it Cahtay pasific

Why don't you look at computers
@2:23 It has Sep84 on the ticket 😁but then not sure if that was stock clip from before or not……lo
Also the Hermes uniform was between 83 and 90.
The very first sound on this video has me saying RIP earbud users
Love's Theme at 3:12, surprising and bold.
05:08. It's rare to see an approach to Rwy 31 in Kai Tak 🤔
i wish we still got lobster medallions in business class!

@@paulsz6194 Be sure to book it as a special meal on your reservation!
Me pregunto porque España no fabrico mas barcos como el cabo san roque y el cabo san vicente. Yo hice el crucero al.carnaval carioca a bordo del.cabo san roque desde 20 de febrero.al 3 demarzo de.1974,.un viaje.que me hizo muy feliz y no puedo.creer que esta grandiosa nave no exista mas.
Hmm, weird never heard of this airline 😂
That cabin color scheme! WOW! People back then thought that was high class?

Glory to Hong Kong!
Don't they have headsets for phones in the late 1980s so that the telephone operators won't need to cradle the receiver on their shoulders?
No. Hong Kong was not tech-savvy but a business-oriented town; Japan was and it will be focused on tech.
