Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd.’s pilots union will do only what’s required by their contracts starting today after discussions about pay failed, potentially leading to flight delays at Asia’s biggest international carrier.

Unionized pilots will start the so-called “contract compliance,” in which officials will perform their assigned duties in strict conformance with their agreements, the Hong Kong Aircrew Officers Association said on its website yesterday. About 1,700 members based in Hong Kong, New Zealand and the U.S. will be asked to comply with the work-to-rule plans, it said.
