Most pilfered items taken off Cathay Pacific

Porcelain pebble salt and pepper pots used to be on Business Class of Cathay Pacific Airlines.

It sounds like a very trivial question to ask the Chief Executive Officer of Cathay Pacific, but how much money has the airline saved by getting rid of the porcelain pebble salt and pepper pots in Business Class? Yes, they have gone, replacing by tiny plastic sachets of seasoning, which, apparently, you have to ask for. 

John Slosar, who next March will trade his CEO business card for one saying “Taipan”, as the chairman of Swire Pacific is known, chuckles. “I do not know and I will be very honest. I flew business class this weekend and it was the first time I saw that and I didn’t know the detail.” The porcelain things were very cool, to the extent that people who travel on Cathay Pacific appreciate style, he added. “And, they were the most frequently pilfered items in the history of Cathay Pacific, by a huge margin.” He laughed, adding he thought the airline should have just distributed them with a huge gift box – or put “stolen from Cathay Pacific” on the bottom.
