I found this one... it really just oozes symbolism.
I have come to like the musings of one Mr Tony Tyler of CX. While he may be the Chicken Little of the Airline industry at the moment (or possibly vying with Giovanni Bisignani for that title), he does have a certain turn of phrase.
So here is one of his recent better ones:
Tony Tyler CEO: Cathay Pacific: "We keep waiting for signs of the green shoots of recovery...When we look at the rice-paddy we see only one or two green shoots rising out of the watery mud. Certainly not enough to fill a rice bowl! The very best we can say is that things have stopped getting worse, but a real and sustained business upswing still seems like a distant dream,"
In truth the situation in Asia is far worse than elsewhere at the moment. The double whammy of the GFC and Swine Flu have really hit HKG and CX very hard.
Cheers
