CATHAY FORCED TO CANCEL FLIGHTS

   Hong Kong-based Cathay Pacific Airways has been forced to cancel dozens of flights as more of the airline’s pilots have called in sick.
   Cathay has set a June 11 deadline for its senior pilots to choose
between a pay cut of up to 22 percent, early retirement or possible
dismissal.
   Cathay’s pilot union has threatened to vote for a strike if any pilots
are fired after next Friday, although Hong Kong law forbids such labor
actions.
