Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd will alter monthly allowances and other perks for pilots as it tries to stem a wave of resignations among crew frustrated by the impact of Hong Kong’s Covid-19 policies on their lives.

The changes depend on pilot ranking and come on top of base salaries and hourly flying rates. From next year, the most senior captains will get a monthly allowance of HK$36,000 (155,180 baht), amounting to HK$432,000 annually, up from HK$396,000 now, according to a memo to staff seen by Bloomberg News.
