Instead we have comments like this from the Independent:
> [Cathay Pacific] said it would comply with a directive from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), which ban any employees who took part in the protests from working on mainland China-bound flights.

and from the BBC:
> Last week, Cathay Pacific had told its staff it would not stop them joining the pro-democracy demonstrations currently sweeping Hong Kong.
> But on Monday, Mr Hogg warned staff they could be fired if they "support or participate in illegal protests".

It is certainly possible this is true, but I find it troubling this story is at the top of HN without other reliable sources backing it up.
